After Halogen was shut down, with less than 20% of work remaining, rather than abandon the work, Slipstream Productions has decided to modify some of the content in Halogen to fit a new original sci-fi universe called "Asylum", created by one of their own. Work has already begun, and it is being based on ''Command & Conquer 3's SAGE'' engine. Instead of taking place within the Halo universe, it creates a completely new and original science fiction universe.

''Halo Wars'' was announced shortly after Halogen was canceled, and it is was speculated that ''Halo Wars'' would develop the momentum of anticipation Halogen carried. Halogen was shut down due to the fact of ''Halo Wars'' being made. In the email to SSP from Microsoft, they warned that a similar game would be revealed at X06 and that this was the explanation as to why they shut the modification down.

It was later revealed that the reverse was actually true; In the email to SSP from Microsoft, they revealed that the reason they didn't want a free ''Halo'' RTS being circulated around the Internet was that they were going to announce a ''real'' RTS based on ''Halo'' at X06.
