Halo: Campaign Evolved releases next month on July 28, 2026, and it's attempting to position itself as one of the most replayable Halo games ever. Between its 42 skulls, which act as gameplay modifiers, and a new Campaign Remix mode that randomizes those skulls to make each playthrough feel different, Halo Studios is clearly leaning heavily into replayability.
While I think those additions are great, it also feels as though some key staple features of the Halo franchise have been left behind along the way. I have to admit, I'm a bit gutted not to see them returning.
