The return of the Community Stage is one the crowds are waiting for now with high expectations for the new HaloWC 2025. This year’s edition is going to be held from October 24-25, and it is going to be anything but a mere pass-through event for any serious Haloite.” The agenda is loaded with developer panels, lore deep-dives, playdates, and lots of fun fan activities. With General Admission literally being the cheapest option for the three-day pass after midnight, you better grab your ticket now if you’re ever planning on attending.
That very declaration sent shock waves into the community, with reactions ranging from excitement to some pretty thinly veiled demands. User @Pwankton states plainly: “It better be a Halo 5 Full PC port and Halo Wars 2 coming to Steam,” which is very bold. @DunkinDonalds_ encouraged the devs to come forward with “a true Halo CE remake with a MATURE rating.” Because what better way to bring back those special nostalgic moments than with a little gritty, R-rated Master Chief?
@Gojisaurus presented quite the opposite: he was not convinced, saying he rather watch it on YouTube while waiting for HWC to become a full-blown convention with an artist alley and a dealer’s room; contrasting with @duxzenji, who dropped a harsh truth: “Just indie esports at this point.” Oof.
However, it seems that many are still truly hyped. @Sarvanah92, who appears in some of the promotional content, really got the community going, with @LadyMando calling out, “I spy the beautiful and talented @Sarvanah92!!!” The backlash followed: @LaSinity cried out, “LETS GO SAR,” while @Team_IVsaken called her “OUR STAR.”
For a global movement… @MESTRECHEFE117 for Central Halo Brasil put major work towards #EdgeOfDawninBrazil, asserting access to what they called a “very important” book for Halo’s current storyline. Because lore matters, people.
Naturally, no discussion of the Halo UI is ever without some franchise memes involved. @wort_wort_wort did what they do best; just “wort wort wort” all over the replies. Elite level.
Other issues came up as well. @ilikefanarts200 wants “a truly multiplayer offline mode LAN in Halo Infinite and Halo 5 without depend on network and PC.” Disagree toldly for those who keep recalling the good old days of having couch co-op, really.
The event is still three months away; so now is when the countdown really begins. Whether you’re there for the panels, playdates, or merely to chill and soak in some Halo vibes, one thing’s for sure: HaloWC 2025 is shaping to become THE event to watch. So… who’s buying tickets before early bird ends?
