Halo: Campaign Evolved isn't just a ground-up remake of one of the most formative first-person shooters of all time, it's also an expansion of an iconic story with a separate prequel story titled Operation: Meteorite, and Halo Studios brought in an award-winning sci-fi author to make sure it lives up to the name.
During today's Xbox Showcase 2026 for Summer Game Fest, some footage was shown of Operation: Meteorite's new prequel missions, which will send the Chief and Sgt. Johnson across enemy lines onto a Covenant research vessel for the UNSC and into some sweet looking space combat. "What starts as a simple smash and grab turns more complicated as they encounter more than they bargained for," says community director Brian Jarrard of the three new missions in an Xbox Wire post.
