The game will reach all platforms with a general release on 28 July 2026, giving higher-tier buyers up to five days of early play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Halo Studios rebuilt the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign in Unreal Engine 5. The release updates visuals, control schemes and the soundtrack, and includes new voice recordings. The package contains the original ten missions plus a new three-mission prequel arc called Operation: METEORITES, which follows Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson on a covert UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. METEORITES is included in every edition of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Halo: Campaign Evolved | Cinematic Story Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0MxBFXH2a_U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Early access is available to owners of the Digital Premium Edition, priced at $69.99, and to buyers of the physical Collector&#8217;s Edition, which was priced at $199.99 and sold out in June. Existing Xbox Game Pass subscribers can buy a Premium Edition Upgrade for $20. The standard edition will be available via Xbox Game Pass from 28 July at no additional cost to subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The release focuses on the single-player campaign and cooperative play. Competitive multiplayer remains part of Halo Infinite. On console the remake supports two-player local split-screen. For the first time in the series, online co-op supports up to four players with cross-play that includes PlayStation 5 users. The game is the first Halo title to appear on a PlayStation platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/goranked.gg\/en\/news\/halo-campaign-evolved-pc-specs-rtx-3080-ti-4k\/\" rel=\"follow\">PC version lists high system requirements<\/a> for top settings. NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti-class hardware is expected for stable 4K performance. Developers rebuilt assets and systems to deliver updated lighting, textures and effects while keeping the original campaign structure intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The staggered early access and full launch make the remake available across PC, Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5. The early-access window began 23 July and the full launch is scheduled for 28 July 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early access for Halo: Campaign Evolved starts 23 July for Digital Premium Edition pre-orders and Collector&#8217;s Edition buyers;
