Halo: Campaign Evolved arrives July 28th
As part of its Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, Microsoft revealed new details about Halo: Campaign Evolved, the upcoming remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign mode. The remake will debut on Xbox Series S / X, PC, and PS5 on July 28th.
Today’s mission trailer includes a first look at Operation: Meteorite, a new three-mission story arc in Halo: Campaign Evolved. It takes place a year before the events of the first game and features Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson.
Microsoft announced Campaign Evolved last year, calling it a “modern evolution” of the original story. The game is built in Unreal Engine 5 and features “stunning new 4K visuals, updated animations, remastered music, and re-recorded voice lines.” There are also three brand-new “prequel” missions. Halo Studios is adding a few weapons from later titles to the game, like the energy sword and the battle rifle. And you’ll also be able to play two-player local split-screen co-op and up to four-player co-op online.
My colleague Tom Warren got to play a demo of Campaign Evolved, and while he said that it “looks and feels distinctively Halo,” he noted, “I realized there’s a lot going on in Campaign Evolved beyond its Unreal Engine 5-powered visuals.”
Microsoft is starting preorders for Halo: Campaign Evolved today, with a $69.99 premium edition providing early access to the game on July 23rd. There’s even a $199.99 collector’s edition that includes a 12-inch “Dark Horse” Master Chief statue, a light-up LED Cortana chip, and more.
Halo: Campaign Evolved will debut on Xbox Series S / X, PC, and PS5 on July 28th.
