Halo and Xbox insider Rebs Gaming claims Activision is considering rebooting the Halo series after taking over the next game, possibly exploring Master Chief's origins. The report says Activision first proposed a free-to-play multiplayer game and a campaign-only game, with the campaign prototype described as a soft reboot that ignores Halo Infinite's story without retconning established canon, before leaning toward one combined package. Rebs also says Sledgehammer Games teams have conceptualised and prototyped basic gameplay mechanics for both projects in the Infinity Ward Engine, while Activision has only confirmed it will develop the next Halo title.

Rebs Gaming adds that the earlier soft-reboot plan not following Halo Infinite's story appears to have been dropped, making a Halo Infinite sequel unlikely.
