Before thereΓÇÖs a new Halo game, Halo Studios is revisiting the past. Xbox
has announced Halo: Campaign Evolved, a remake of the first game in the
storied shooter series, Halo: Combat Evolved, developed by Halo Studios and
coming to Xbox, PC and PS5 in 2026.

Halo: Campaign Evolved is described as ΓÇ£a faithful yet modernized remakeΓÇ¥
of the first gameΓÇÖs campaign, with updated visuals and cinematics,
ΓÇ£refined controlsΓÇ¥ and ΓÇ£three brand-new prequel missions featuring the
Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson.ΓÇ¥

The game will feature new weapons, vehicles and enemies, along with the all-
important option for two-player splitscreen co-op on console. The game will
also support cross-platform play with PS5 for the first time, and four-player
online co-op between consoles and PC.

Notably, Campaign Evolved is built in Unreal Engine 5. Halo Studios announced
it would focus on Unreal development when it rebranded from 343 Industries in
2024. Besides the new visuals and controls, the remake will also include
tweaks to memorable missions from the original game as a way to better
onboard new players into HaloΓÇÖs world.

ΓÇ£We wanted to start where it all began, with the original campaign that
defined Halo,ΓÇ¥ producer Damon Conn said in the blog post announcing the
game. ΓÇ£Starting here means people that have never played the game before
will be able to understand the story from the very beginning, and that can
help us chart a course forward with new Halo stories.ΓÇ¥

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