\"Rumour:<\/a><\/p>\n

After all that transpired over the past 24 hours<\/a>, it\u2019s odd to see a new Halo: Campaign Evolved<\/a> trailer captured on PS5 Pro hardware today.<\/p>\n

But online scuttlebutt suggests this video may have actually been planned for last week\u2019s State of Play<\/a>, before last-minute changes saw Microsoft pull the plug on its inclusion.<\/p>\n

Speculation started with Chris Dring\u2019s newsletter The Game Business<\/a>, where he said \u201cMicrosoft had planned to have a game at PlayStation\u2019s State of Play showcase, but decided against it, angering Sony\u201d.<\/p>\n

this \u201ccaptured on PS5 Pro\u201d Halo trailer sure would have made more sense if it was originally supposed to be part of Sony\u2019s State of Play\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/OuaXdYLkcp<\/a>\u2014 Tom Warren (@tomwarren) June 8, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n

While Dring didn\u2019t elaborate which game he was referring to, The Verge<\/a> reporter Tom Warren said \u201cthis \u2018Captured on PS5 Pro\u2019 Halo trailer sure would have made more sense if it was originally supposed to be part of Sony\u2019s State of Play\u201d.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not enough to say definitively whether this was the plan or not, but seeing as it seems Gears of War: E-Day<\/a> was cancelled last-minute<\/a>, this all just seems reflective of Microsoft\u2019s ever-changing strategy.<\/p>\n

I can understand why PlayStation may have been bemused by this \u2013 it may have had to re-edit the State of Play, reschedule YouTube uploads, and delete social media posts.<\/p>\n

But seeing Halo during a State of Play would have been odd anyway, so I\u2019m not really sure what Microsoft was thinking if it committed to that in the first place.<\/p>\n

It all just speaks to a company that appears to be making things up as it goes along.<\/p>\n
