Project Contingency is a fan-made Halo game being developed in Unreal Engine 4 by a group of Halo fans. It is going to be a first-person shooter, but no release date has yet been announced. The game is neither supported nor endorsed by 343 Industries or Microsoft.

Development[]

Project Contingency was originally being developed in CryEngine 3.^[1] The original team was going to call the game Galaxy of Combat, but the team disbanded, and a new team took over.^[1] The team had switched to Unreal Engine 4 in March 2015.

Leaked Screenshots[]

There were some screenshots leaked by a member of the game's development team. They had the 343 Industries logo on, to pass them off as Halo 5: Guardians leaks. However, they were denied by 343, and it was soon revealed on the Project Contingency forums that they were from Project Contingency itself.^{[citation needed]}

Easter Eggs[]

On Cardinal, there are several hidden spartan helmets and a bird.
On medals that don't have their art added in yet, the message "lavvy pls" pops up as a reference to Lavadeeto, the game's UI artist.
The name "Contingency" is a homage to The Winter Contingency level and the emergency plan from Halo Reach
There is some sort of Easter egg hidden on the main menu according to one of the developers, but I can't find it.
