Halo: Campaign Evolved remake launches July 28 2026 on PS5, Xbox and PC

Halo: Campaign Evolved, a full‑remake of the 2001 classic Halo: Combat Evolved, is scheduled for worldwide release on 28 July 2026. The game runs on Unreal Engine 5 and will be available for PlayStation 5 (including PS5 Pro), Xbox Series X/S and PC, with early‑access Premium Edition owners starting gameplay on 23 July. Graphical upgrades such as Lumen ray‑tracing, HDR and high‑resolution textures are combined with new weapons, added missions and an expanded campaign. The remake retains the series' hidden collectibles – 39 skulls and 13 terminals across 13 missions – and a guide details all locations.

Community members have uncovered a secret ending where Sergeant Johnson says, “See you in the sequel,” which many interpret as a hint toward a future Halo 2 remake. Some players also claim to have found an easter‑egg referencing the Brute Craig, though Halo Studios has not confirmed it. A separate complaint notes new instant‑kill zones that penalise exploration beyond the original level limits. Technical tests show stable 4K ultra‑high settings on modern PCs and the PS5 Pro delivering the cleanest console image, while performance on other platforms remains strong.

The launch marks the first time a Halo title appears on a Sony console, representing a notable cross‑platform milestone for Microsoft’s Halo franchise.
