The announcements will take place in the first half of the day on the main stage of the event, followed by a detailed session on stage for the community, where developers will show what they have been working on.
This is a continuation of the line started last year with HaloWC and the "A New Dawn" video, where the studio outlined long-term plans for the series. Since January 2024, the developer has repeatedly emphasized that it is working on several projects, and it seems the time has come to lift the veil.
The announcements come amid heightened rumors about the future of the franchise. It was previously reported that at least one new Halo game may be released on PlayStation consoles, which would be a significant step for the flagship Xbox series. According to dataminer Grunt API, mentions of the new Halo's compatibility with PlayStation and integration with PlayFab, Microsoft's service for progression and matchmaking, have appeared in the Xbox API. The database also indicates a possible multiplayer beta, which some believe is related to Project Eker.
If the rumors are confirmed, the Halo World Championship will become a platform for one of the most significant announcements in the history of the franchise.
