Halo: Campaign Evolved will be released in July with new missions

We’ve never seen Master Chief like this before: in Halo Campaign Evolved, the series returns to its beginnings and, in addition to a comprehensive overhaul of the first adventure, offers fresh content that we can take a look at in the latest trailer. The release date has also now been set.

Improved and expanded campaign

Halo: Campaign Evolved initially contains the complete campaign of Halo: Combat Evolved, which, compared to the now almost 25-year-old original, offers contemporary graphics, extended cutscenes, an improved soundtrack, a revised level design and even nine new weapons and enemy types.

Particularly exciting: With Operation: Meteorite, the new edition has a three-part mission series that did not exist in Combat Evolved. Set before the actual story, players fight in the role of Master Chief alongside Sgt. Johnson in various locations. Their goal is to infiltrate a Covenant ship. As the trailer shows, not everything goes as planned and the two even end up in space.

Master Chief returns in July

We also now know when Halo: Campaign Evolved will be released: July 28, 2026 for the PC, Xbox Series those who pre-order will also secure the Foundry Armory Pack, each with two weapon and armor skins. There are even more styling options with the Premium Edition Alpha Halo Armory Pack, which provides six additional weapon skins and five armor skins. There is also a digital art book, a digital short story and a digital manual. Collectors can also pick up the Collector’s Edition, which includes a statue of Master Chief, an LED replica of Cortana’s data chip and three printed concept art.
