Silent Hill 2 remake launched in October 2024 as a PS5 console exclusive alongside its PC release. A year later, the survival horror game seems to be finally coming to Xbox. An Xbox Series S/X version of the remake, which was developed by Bloober Team, has been listed on the ESRB ratings website, which suggests an official announcement from Konami isn't that far off.
Hot off the heels of Halo: Campaign Evolved's official reveal, prominent Halo insider Halo Leaks on X stated Halo 2 and Halo 3 will get the same treatment. Like Halo: Campaign Evolved, which looks to remake Bungie's 2001 shooter with updated visuals, gameplay changes, and even new levels, both rumored remakes will include the addition of the sprint mechanic and will not feature multiplayer--only campaigns.
Glenn Israel said on LinkedIn that he is "no longer contributing to the Halo universe" after working on the sci-fi series since 2008. Israel got his start on the Halo franchise at Bungie before joining 343 Industries--now known as Halo Studios--as art director.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater is a full-blown remake of 2004's Metal Gear Solid 3, completely rebuilding the game using the software Unreal Engine 5. This means a completely overhauled visual style, a new over-the-shoulder gameplay mode, and a mix of other changes.
