What Halo: Campaign Evolved is

A faithful but modernized remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign, developed by Halo Studios — not a new game, and not a remaster of the 2011 Anniversary edition.

The full CE campaign, rebuilt

All ten original missions with high-definition graphics, refined controls, enhanced cinematics and fully rebuilt sound design.

Three new missions

Operation: METEORITE — a three-mission story arc starring Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, set before the events of Combat Evolved.

New ways to play

42 game-changing Skulls and the all-new Campaign Remix mode that reworks encounters across the campaign.

Co-op for up to 4

Two-player split-screen locally, or up to four-player online co-op with full cross-play and cross-progression across Xbox, PC, Steam and PS5.
