According to a rumor, the studio formerly known as 343 Industries will not create new things in every case.
In the embedded video below, Rebs Gaming summarizes several points about the remade and expanded story mode of the first Halo game. Halo: Campaign Evolved makes broad use of Halo Infinite‘s assets and models. Halo: Campaign Evolved also includes a series of new campaign missions, though that part was already known before – the new information is that Brutes will appear in those missions as well. One of the missions focuses on the old rivalry between the ODSTs and the Spartans flaring up again. Halo Studios is introducing a particularly religious Covenant faction in these extra missions, which likely pulled resources away from recreating the original Halo: Combat Evolved models from scratch.
Experience where the legend begins. Halo: Campaign Evolved is a modernized remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign. Experience the original story rebuilt with high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, and more refined controls, along with three brand-new prequel missions featuring Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson. Weapons, vehicles, enemies, and gameplay-modifying Skulls are optional modifiers that change combat in entertaining and challenging ways. A wider selection of them offers new tactics and endless replayability.
Play it your way: solo, in two-player split-screen co-op on console, or even in four-player online co-op with full cross-play and cross-progression support. Whether you are discovering Halo for the first time or returning after 25 years, Halo: Campaign Evolved promises an adventure that feels both timeless and completely new. After crash-landing on a mysterious ringworld called Halo, Master Chief must help the surviving humans endure against overwhelming Covenant forces. Alongside his AI companion Cortana, he uncovers Halo‘s dark secrets and fights to prevent the annihilation of all life in the galaxy.
Fight your way through the original missions, which have been rebuilt with enhanced level design, updated cinematics, and improved wayfinding so the pacing stays intact without losing the original sense of wonder, tension, or heroism. Iconic vistas, alien architecture, and sci-fi marvels have been reborn with all-new visuals, cinematics, and animations. The soundtrack has been remastered, the sound design has been updated for greater immersion, and new voice recordings have been created with the main cast. Classic Halo combat feels instantly familiar, yet sharper than ever. Sprint, aim, and fight with refined precision. In Halo: Campaign Evolved, players can use nine additional iconic weapons from across the series for the first time, including the Energy Sword, the Battle Rifle, and the Needle Rifle, offering more ways to approach each encounter.
Join Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson in a brand-new story set before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, featuring new environments, gameplay, characters, and enemies. Whether you are speeding across the map in a Warthog or flipping over with friends, vehicles have always been central to Halo‘s fun. Now they go even further: in Halo: Campaign Evolved, players can hijack enemy vehicles and drive a fully controllable Wraith for the first time, creating unforgettable chaos. Use the Campaign Remix feature to revisit any mission and remix the experience with the largest number of gameplay-modifying Skulls ever seen in a Halo campaign.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
