Experience Where the Legend Begins

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a faithful yet modernized remake of Halo: Combat Evolveds campaign. Experience the original story rebuilt with high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, and refined controls, plus three brand-new prequel missions featuring the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson. A broader arsenal of weapons, vehicles, enemies, and gameplay-modifying Skulls optional modifiers that change combat in fun and challenging ways add fresh tactics and endless replayability.

Play it your way: solo, in 2-player split-screen co-op (console only), or up to 4-player online co-op with full crossplay and cross-progression support. Whether youre discovering Halo for the first time or returning to the ring after 25 years, Halo: Campaign Evolved delivers an adventure that feels both timeless and brand new.

Discover the Ringworld

After crash landing on a mysterious ringworld known as Halo, the Master Chief is tasked with helping the remaining humans survive against overwhelming Covenant forces. Alongside his AI companion Cortana, he uncovers Halos dark secrets and fights to avert the annihilation of all life in the galaxy.

Key Features

The Complete Campaign, Rebuilt
Battle through the original missions, newly rebuilt with enhanced level design, updated cinematics, and improved wayfinding, refined to keep the pace moving without losing the wonder, tension, or heroism of the original.

Cinematics and Audio Overhauled
Iconic vistas, alien architecture, and sci-fi wonders are reborn with all-new visuals, cinematics, and animations. The soundtrack has been remastered, the sound design updated for greater immersion, and new voice performances recorded with the primary cast.

Combat and Weapons Expanded
Classic Halo combat feels instantly familiar yet sharper than ever. Sprint, aim, and engage with refined precision. For the first time in Halo: CE, you can wield 9 additional iconic weapons from across the series, including the Energy Sword, Battle Rifle, and Needle Rifle, giving you more ways to approach every fight.

Three New Prequel Missions
Join the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson in a brand-new arc set before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, featuring new environments, gameplay, characters, and enemies.

Play Solo or with Friends
Experience the full campaign in 2-player split-screen co-op (console only) or 4-player online co-op, complete with crossplay and shared progression across console and PC.

Drive, Hijack, Wreak Havoc
Whether youre racing across the map in a Warthog or flipping it over with friends, vehicles have always been at the heart of Halos fun. Now they go even further: for the first time in Halo: CE, you can hijack enemy rides and pilot a fully drivable Wraith, creating unforgettable chaos.

Remix Your Campaign for Endless Replayability
Use the campaign remix feature to return to any mission and remix the experience with the most gameplay-modifying Skulls ever in a Halo campaign. These optional modifiers add challenge and variety with randomized weapons, enemies, and environments.

I do like how much of the trailer focuses on the Silent Cartographer... they know what's up.

Yep unless you count the helldivers 2 crossover.

I think that's the bigger deal here. Xbox no longer has a flag ship series. They are all on PlayStation now

I'll get it because I'm a sucker for Halo, especially Halo campaigns. And I never got tired of Halo 1's campaign.

However, it's really not a very exciting announcement, even taking into account that everyone knew this was going to be the reveal.

All depends on how well this one performs financially. With it being on PS5 it'll probably make a buttload of money though, and the other rumor (which is likely true considering the CE campaign-only remake rumor from the same folks was true) is they're having Halo multiplayer be a separate game that will just evolve over time instead of having an entirely new game every few years. That'll likely be a F2P game with cosmetic shit people will pour money into across all platforms.

So yeah, I think we'll get a proper remake of the whole trilogy. Might as well just reboot the whole damn thing at this point since they don't really seem to know where to go with the story now lol

Yeah, this makes absolutely no mention of multi-player, so I could definitely see it being its own thing, >.<

Eh apparently the Gears release on PS5 didn't do so hot and this is the same situation in a way so no guarantee it'll sell a lot

I've got a soft spot for the CE story mode, so I'm cautiously interested.

Maybe they can even add a second set of actual maps for the back half.

Interesting that they're adding prequel missions. I probably would have preferred a few more missions in between the first few levels though.

Always felt a bit odd to me that after you rescue Keyes in level 3 you never see him alive on screen again except for the flashback in level 6

I haven't played 1 in like 20+ years so I'm sold. I also love they are stopping the exclusivity crap. Now if Sony would as well. I have a PS5 and a PC, let me play all the games everywhere. I'll buy them gladly. But sometimes I just want to sit on my couch and play games and not sit at my desk.

I'm probably the only person who cares about splitscreen games on PC but I wish the feature was still thriving in an age of widescreen monitors. Vertical splitscreen down the middle of a wide screen is so good with a friend.

Assuming the book canon still matters, Chief had a 27 year long military career before Reach.

Hell, it lasted about a decade before they even made first contact with the Covenant, the Spartans were originally UNSC/ONI black ops to fight insurrection, then the war gave them a glow-up.

It mentioning both Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson makes me think they will take place during the battle at Reach. They first meet just before the Pillar of Autumn escapes the battle. I'm not sure how they make it fit in Canon, but Halo: Reach and The Fall of Reach book already conflicted with each other, so I guess it doesn't matter much.
