It's official, a Halo: Combat Evolved remake is coming in 2026! Yep, as part of today's Halo World Championship event, the newly-rebranded Halo Studios has announced its first project - titled Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a "faithful yet modernized remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign", featuring "high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, and refined controls". What's more, this updated version of the original Halo will actually feature some new content, in the form of "three brand-new prequel missions featuring the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson".
"Experience the original story rebuilt with high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, and refined controls, plus three brand-new prequel missions featuring the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson. A broader arsenal of weapons, vehicles, enemies, and gameplay-modifying “Skulls” – optional modifiers that change combat in fun and challenging ways – add fresh tactics and endless replayability."
As is evidenced by the official title, this new Halo remake is purely single-player campaign content - there will be no multiplayer component to this release. We don't have an official launch date for the title just yet, other than it's coming to Xbox Series X|S, PC and PS5 sometime next year.
