So, Xbox and Halo are turning 25 soon, and Microsoft’s like, “Dude, we HAVE to party!” They’re cooking up some big anniversary plans for 2026—new merch, events, maybe even new consoles. Halo alone has made a ridiculous $1.8 billion (yes, BILLION) just on merch! There’s talk of backward compatibility, new Xbox hardware, and a big Tokyo Game Show appearance. Maybe even some sweet limited-edition controllers. Basically, Xbox fans: get hyped, the next few years could be wild!

Microsoft's teasing some big celebrations. There are rumors about a remake of "Halo: Combat Evolved" and a possible new Xbox console around the same time. Fans are hyped but also cautious—some worry it might just be merch or minor updates. Still, everyone’s hoping for something epic to honor 25 years of the Halo universe!
