Introducing Halo: Campaign Evolved — A Ground-Up Remake of the Iconic Halo: Combat Evolved Campaign

The publisher **Xbox Game Studios** and the developers from **Halo Studios** have officially **unveiled** **Halo: Campaign Evolved**, which serves as a «complete remake» of the campaign from **Halo: Combat Evolved**. Players can look forward to not only enhanced visuals but also new storyline content.

**Halo: Campaign Evolved** has been entirely rebuilt using Unreal Engine 5. The game boasts 4K graphics, updated animations, improved controls and navigation, remastered music, and re-recorded voice acting. Additionally, the developers have retained local split-screen co-op for two players on consoles, and introduced online co-op supporting up to four players across PC and consoles. Full cross-play and cross-progression features are available as well.

In terms of new content, players will see three additional prequel missions featuring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson. Nine weapons from other **Halo** titles will be included, such as the needle rifle and energy sword. Players will have the ability to sprint, hijack vehicles, and control Ghosts. The game will also implement a «Skulls» system, which consists of special modifiers that alter gameplay and difficulty.

According to executive producer **Damon Conn**, **Halo: Campaign Evolved** is designed to be the perfect entry point into the series for newcomers. Notably, this franchise will be making its debut on PlayStation. **Conn** emphasized that thanks to the remake, individuals who have never engaged with **Halo** will be able to experience the storyline from the very beginning. The team at **Halo Studios** aimed to ensure that the remaster feels just as immersive and handcrafted as the original campaign.
