Considering in the preview we saw halo infinite elites and chief's mk V armour, there's a chance they're working on something that takes place during combat evolved. Could even be a remake.
With the switch to unreal engine there's also a chance that halo studios will have an easier time acquiring talent, seeing as unreal engine seems to be the industry standard. If I'm not mistaken, one of the things 343 struggled with was the fact that so much time had to be spent teaching their new hires the ins and outs of the slipspace engine before they could make any meaningful contribution. I think the switch was the right call. What they were able to do in unreal engine looks fantastic!
Most importantly, I hope that whatever they're making is fun. For a more casual player like myself, I was really drawn to halo because of it's low barrier of entry and it's ability to keep me playing for hours. I don't want the BIGGEST and LONGEST campaign, I want a GOOD campaign. I don't want the LARGEST VARIETY of weapons, I just want the few weapons that a game has to all be FUN in their own way. I hope that making the core of the game as fun as possible is a priority. I'll be cautiously optimistic as we await more announcements
