The Halo: Combat Evolved remake, Campaign Evolved, refreshes the 2001 sci-fi FPS for contemporary audiences, and it appears Halo Studios made considerable efforts to enhance the graphics for the game developed using Unreal Engine 5.

Game director Greg Hermann remarked during a roundtable discussion with Polygon that “Every asset has been altered or modified or reviewed in some manner as we advanced it.”

Currently Playing: 11 Minutes Of Halo Campaign Evolved Gameplay

Many speculated whether Halo Studios utilized any kind of artificial intelligence tool to assist with this, but Microsoft has not verified either way, merely stating that there was no requirement for the studio to use AI. Regardless, executive producer Damon Conn explained, “We have done everything within our power to ensure that we retain the essence of Halo as we reconstruct and refine everything.”

The team working on the remake indicated they managed to maintain the “tone, the atmosphere, and the emotional resonance” of the original title “preserved” for Campaign Evolved.

The remake introduces some contentious modifications as well, such as the implementation of sprint and several vehicle adjustments that one of the original game’s designers is not particularly fond of. Another developer involved in the original Halo expressed their thoughts on the remake with a different, more positive and optimistic view.

Campaign Evolved is set to release in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S and PC, alongside PlayStation 5. The franchise is closely associated with Xbox and has never appeared on PlayStation until this remake. It’s possible this isn’t the last Halo title on PS5, as Halo Studios has asserted “Halo is on PlayStation” moving forward.

There is no head-to-head multiplayer functionality, however, campaign cooperative play will be accessible. Watch the video above to examine the remake in comparison to the original. Pricing details for Halo: Campaign Evolved have yet to be disclosed, but it has been confirmed that the game will launch simultaneously on all platforms, rather than arriving on Xbox and PC before PS5.

Microsoft has indicated it has numerous new Halo titles underway, and another might be a live-service Halo game that could also debut in 2026, coinciding with Halo’s 25th anniversary.
