Halo: Campaign Evolved

About this game

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a full remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s legendary single-player campaign, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5 with high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, refined level design, and modernized controls. Relive the original ringworld adventure as the Master Chief and Cortana battle the Covenant and uncover Halo’s terrifying secret, now enhanced with overhauled audio and re-recorded music and voices. Fight through all ten classic missions plus three new prequel missions in Operation: Meteorite starring Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, featuring new environments, enemies, and gameplay. Classic Halo combat returns sharper than ever, expanded with nine additional iconic weapons, new enemy types, vehicle hijacking, and a fully drivable Wraith. Play solo, 2-player split-screen on console, or up to 4-player online co-op with full crossplay and shared progression. Remix any mission using the most extensive set of Skull modifiers yet, adding randomized weapons, enemies, and environments for near-endless replayability.
