“This Is Halo for Everyone” — Halo: Campaign Evolved Coming to PC, Xbox and PS5 Next Year with New Three‑Mission Prequel and 4‑Player Co‑op

Some additions will be more controversial: iconic weapons from later entries, like the Energy Sword and the Battle Rifle, are appearing in the remake. For the first time in the franchise’s core-campaign releases, two-player local co-op and four-player online co-op are supported, and players can hijack vehicles during missions.

The inclusion of sprint will likely reignite the long-running debate over movement mechanics — though sprint can be toggled off for players who prefer the classic pace.

An Xbox Wire post explains that “all of the new content created in Unreal Engine 5 is layered on top of code and systems carried directly over from the original games,” an approach intended to preserve the feel of moving a 1,000‑pound supersoldier.

“This is Halo for everyone,” executive producer Damon Conn said.
