Microsoft has announced Halo: Campaign Evolved, a full remake, set for launch on PlayStation, along with Xbox and PC in 2026, providing an advanced gameplay experience.
The Xbox parent company revealed that the upcoming game will feature the campaign of Halo: Combat Evolved, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. Halo Studios debuted a trailer for Halo: Campaign Evolved and showcased features in a 13-minute gameplay demo.
Halo Studios Executive Producer Damon Conn said: "We wanted to start where it all began, with the original campaign that defined Halo. Starting here means people who 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.
“Focusing on the campaign experience means we can concentrate fully on really capturing the atmosphere, tone – the emotional impact of what made the first campaign so special and iconic.”

Halo: Campaign Evolved will feature remastered 4K visuals, upgraded animations, familiar Halo weapons and vehicles, advanced music, re-recorded voice lines, and new story content.
In an Xbox Wire post, Microsoft said that the remake will be a 'Modern evolution' of the story of Halo: Combat Evolved, which will feature three new bonus campaign missions.
Moreover, the game will support the original two-player local split-screen experience on consoles and will allow up to four players online co-op across Xbox Series S/X, PC, and PS5. During the gameplay, you will be able to hijack vehicles and pilot the Covenant Wraith tank for the first time in Halo: Campaign Evolved.
It should be noted that the game will support Xbox Cloud Gaming and Xbox Play Anywhere and will be available day one with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
