True to its title, Halo: Campaign Evolved focuses exclusively on the single-player experience, omitting traditional PvP multiplayer modes. Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, this ambitious reimagining of the original Halo: Combat Evolved promises a modernized take on the classic shooter. Beyond the main campaign, the package includes three exclusive prequel missions featuring both the Chief and Sergeant Johnson.
Halo: Campaign Evolved arrives on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on July 28.
