Halo: Campaign Evolved

Coming to Xbox, PC and PS5 in 2026, the remake of the original story will feature three new preliminary missions and a number of graphical improvements.

Before the release of the new Halo game, the developers at Halo Studios decided to take a trip back in time. Xbox announced Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the first game in the famous shooter series Halo: Combat Evolved, developed by Halo Studios and coming to Xbox, PC and PS5 in 2026.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is described as a "faithful yet updated remake" of the first campaign, with improved graphics and cinematics, "iimproved controls" and "three all-new pre-missions featuring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson".

The game will feature new weapons, vehicles and enemies, as well as significant split-screen co-op gameplay on consoles. For the first time, the game will support cross-platform play with PS5, as well as four-player online co-op play between consoles and PCs.

Importantly, Campaign Evolved is built in Unreal Engine 5. Halo Studios is. when it rebranded from 343 Industries announced in 2024 that it would focus on Unreal-powered development. In addition to new visuals and controls, the remake will also include adaptations of familiar missions from the original game to help introduce new players to the world of Halo. “We wanted to start where it all began—with the original campaign that defined Halo,” producer Damon Conn wrote in a blog post announcing the game. "Starting here means that people who have never played the game before will be able to understand the story from the beginning, which can help us chart a path forward with new Halo stories."

Halo: Campaign Evolved will be available in 2026 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC.
