XBOX Game Studios released Halo: Campaign Evolved on July 29, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox. Developed by Halo Studios, the title is a remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved from 2001. The release marks the series' first appearance on a PlayStation platform, with co-op support for up to four players.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a remake of the 2001 original Halo: Combat Evolved, which established the console FPS template and became a signature Xbox title. The new version follows that structure but pushes further into story-driven territory, with a campaign that supports up to four players in co-op.
The setting remains the near-future conflict between humanity and the alien Covenant. Players take the role of Master Chief, a SPARTAN-II supersoldier who wakes from cryosleep after his cruiser, the Pillar of Autumn, comes under attack and crash-lands on the ring world Halo. The remake's Japanese release notes the title is pronounced "Halo" (hey-lo), not "Haro."
Difficulty options are set up to accommodate both newcomers and series veterans, and the game's weapons are scavenged from the environment rather than carried in, keeping the survival-style loop intact.
