Microsoft has just announced the rumored remake of the first Halo game in Unreal Engine 5. Halo: Campaign Evolved will be rebuilt with high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, and refined controls. So, below you can find its first details and screenshots, as well as its debut trailer.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a faithful modernized remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign. The game will have the entire campaign of the first Halo game, as well as three brand-new prequel missions featuring the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson.
Players will also get a broader arsenal of weapons, vehicles, enemies, and gameplay-modifying “Skulls”. These Skulls are optional modifiers that can change combat in fun and challenging ways. Moreover, there will be fresh tactics and endless replayability.
Halo: Campaign Evolved will support solo and up to 4-player online co-op. There will be full crossplay and cross-progression support. This means that PC gamers will be able to play with their console friends, whether they are on PlayStation or Xbox.
Halo Studios has also brought some QoL improvements. Players will now be able to 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.
Microsoft plans to release Halo: Campaign Evolved sometime in 2026.
