Senior Designer at Microsoft urges fans to not believe on claims regarding Halo Combat Evolved on PS5

Delilah HD, a Senior Designer working at Microsoft, shared a post on X in response to recent claims made on Halo Combat Evolved's possible arrival on Sony's platform. Here's what she wrote:

"Don't believe everything you read... Stop falling for the grift and engagement bait. #Noleaks"

While it's not yet confirmed, the post is seemingly connected to Tom Warren's report. It did hint that Microsoft might consider a new remastered Combat Evolved title that may be released for the PS5 as well this time.

Contrary to the report, @Delilah_HD wrote in her post that there's no weight to the latest leaks on Halo and its possible arrival on Sony's PS5 console. Speaking of Tom, he's one of the most reliable sources when it comes to gaming news and updates. According to Microsoft's Senior Designer's post, however, his latest report might not be legitimate.

Coming onto Combat Evolved, it was originally launched more than two decades ago in 2001 for the first Xbox. In 2011, it was re-released in the form of a remake as part of the Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary. The game was made with developer 343 Industries' in-house engine.

For now, fans should take everything, especially the latest report on Halo, with a grain of salt. Hopefully, Microsoft will share an official clarification on this entire situation going forward.
