Microsoft has responded to European chatter surrounding a
Halo: Combat Evolved high-definition remake by saying, "Right now our focus is on supporting
Halo: Reach. We have nothing to announce at this time." Putting that through the Joystiq PR Translation Machine pops out one thing: "42."
Clearly, we need to call maintenance.
Eurogamer published the quote from Microsoft after
Games Master magazine implied that a
Halo remake was underway at 343 Industries (the current
Halo custodian), using the
Reach engine. Allegedly, the HD
Halo would drop next November, to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the original Xbox shooter.
