Considerations

• Development Timeline: Transitioning to a new game engine like Unreal Engine 5 can extend development timelines due to the learning curve and adaptation required.

• Official Announcements: While there have been reports and rumors, no official release date for a Halo Infinite sequel has been confirmed by Halo Studios as of June 2025.

• Industry Trends: Major game releases often have development cycles spanning several years, especially when significant changes, such as engine shifts, are involved.
