Halo 3: Anniversary isn’t coming to Xbox One or Windows 10 anytime soon, Microsoft has finally confirmed.
Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 have both received significant remastering efforts in the past few years, and fans are eager to play the third instalment with a shiny new coat of paint.
Unfortunately, this isn’t happening. Writing on Reddit, Halo community manager Brian Jarrard said, “OMG stop. There is no Halo 3 Anniversary.” This comment accompanies the news that Halo 6 won’t be at E3 this year.
With no remaster or sequel in sight for next month’s big event, 343 Industries is instead teasing a “little something” for a different project. ODST 2 maybe?

First released in September 2007, this year would mark the 10th anniversary for Halo 3. To us, a remaster would be the perfect way to mark such an occasion.
If not, the game and its multiplayer are playable in their entirely through the Halo: Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. Perhaps it will make an appearance on PC this year thanks to Xbox Play Anywhere.
With the release of Halo 5: Guardians almost two years behind us, it’s surprising to hear that the upcoming sequel won’t be at E3 this year.
