Microsoft's freshly-formed internal Halo studio, 343 Industries, is working on a Halo: Combat Evolved remake.
That's according to "industry chatter" reported in the new Games Master magazine, which writes that the updated game could run on the Halo: Reach engine and arrive ahead of a full Halo 3 sequel in late 2012.
If true, the remade Halo: Combat Evolved could release on the original's tenth anniversary, which falls on November 15, 2011.
Microsoft has previously expressed interest in adopting an annual release model for the Halo series, and this would certainly fit that nicely.
Plus, when asked, UK Xbox boss boss Stephen McGill seemed to be in favour of a remake, telling Eurogamer earlier this month: "I imagine it's a good idea".
"I think some people want to go back to older games and see them revisited and I think a lot of developers want to see that too," he said.
I'm certainly up for this.
