Developer Halo Studios announced "Halo: Campaign Evolved", which is a "complete" remake of the first game in the "Halo" series "Halo: Combat Evolved". It is developed with the Unreal 5 engine and will be released in 2026. It will be available on PC (Steam, Microsoft Store), PS5 and Xbox Series.First launched on Game Pass.
Announcement of promotional video:
As can be seen from the name, "Halo: Combat Evolved" is only a remake of the single-player campaign of "Halo: Combat Evolved". There is no multiplayer mode, which is consistent with previous rumors.
In addition, there are three new bonus missions, which serve as a prequel to the main campaign.The campaign itself of "Combat Evolved" has not changed in terms of plot development. These new missions are designed to provide players with more content, not just a remake of the campaign.
Campaign Evolved also introduces four-player co-op, allowing you to complete the entire campaign with three other online players.Additionally, while Halo Studios failed to implement couch co-op in Halo Infinite, two-player co-op is already available in Campaign Evolved.
Currently, the game’s Steam store page is online and supports Simplified Chinese and Chinese dubbing.
