Halo Studios has officially revealed Halo: Campaign Evolved, a ground-up remake of Halo: Combat Evolved built in Unreal Engine 5. Coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2026, this complete remake features stunning 4K visuals, three brand-new prequel missions, and the series' first 4-player cross-platform co-op.

The announcement was made at the Halo World Championship 2025, where attendees got hands-on time with a playable demo of "The Silent Cartographer" mission. The game represents a major technological shift for the franchise, moving from the proprietary Blam! engine to Unreal Engine 5 while preserving the core Halo gameplay feel.
