2026 brings a huge moment for Xbox’s iconic Halo series, as the franchise is turning 25 years old.
To celebrate, Halo Studios is revisiting Master Chief’s roots with its next game. Titled Halo: Campaign Evolved, it’s a full remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign. Eschewing multiplayer, the team is focused on rebuilding and expanding the story, adding new weapons, enemy behaviors, and much more.
It's also huge for another reason, as this will be the first Halo game ever that’s also launching on PlayStation 5. With Forza and Gears of War also leaping across platforms earlier this year, the so-called “Big Three” of Xbox will all be available on PlayStation in some form or capacity.
I recently had the chance to visit Halo Studios and play a slice of Halo: Campaign Evolved while talking to the developers working on the project.
