So much for not jumping on the HD re-release bandwagon, it seems. Gaming site Joystiq is reporting that a spruced-up remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved is due out later this fall, November 15 to be exact. To Microsoft’s credit, the revamp is not a mere HD makeover with upscaled assets, it boasts all-new art.

Reportedly, Saber Interactive is handling development duties under close guidance of 343 Industries — Microsoft’s top-tier Halo dev, assembled amid Bungie’s departure. 343 is also working on a next-gen Halo effort, as numerous job listings have hinted at.

The release date of November 15 is fitting, given that same month marks Halo’s tenth anniversary as a franchise.
