The wait is over, Spartans - Halo: Campaign Evolved is out now, Xbox confirmed on July 28, 2026. Developed by Halo Studios, it's a "faithful" remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign.
What Is Halo: Campaign Evolved?
Halo: Campaign Evolved is the latest release from Halo Studios, and as the name suggests, the focus here is on campaign. It's a big move for a franchise that has long been defined by its multiplayer, but being a remake of the original campaign, it makes sense this is the focus when other multiplayer games are available.
We get to experience the original story rebuilt with "high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, refined controls, plus a brand-new three-mission adventure featuring the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson."
A broader arsenal of weapons, vehicles, enemies and gameplay-modifying “Skulls” – optional modifiers that change combat in fun and challenging ways – add fresh tactics and endless replayability.
Also, you can play this 2-player co-op with split screen or 4-player online co-op with full crossplay and cross-progression support.
Where Can You Play It?
If you're a subscriber, you're in luck. As we covered previously, Halo: Campaign Evolved arrived as part of the second wave of Game Pass titles for July, alongside Hell is Us and more.
You can also buy the game, it's available on Xbox and Steam. There's also a premium edition which includes:
Halo: Campaign Evolved game
Alpha Halo Armoury Pack, featuring 5 Master Chief Armor skins and 6 weapon skins
Art of Halo: Campaign Evolved Digital Artbook
Halo: Hungry Buzzards Digital Short Story
Digital Game Manual
Not that skins are really needed for a single player game, but the digital art book and a short story sounds nice!
