Say what you will about Xbox and its declining hardware revenue, you can’t deny that its games line-up for 2026 is its most packed in a long time. That includes Halo Studios’ Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is allegedly planned for this Summer. For those thinking it could arrive by September, it may be even earlier, according to insider shinobi602.
On ResetEra, he replied to a comment about a possible release in the month, which still falls under Summer, with “Not that far (at least for now).” Again, it doesn’t outright confirm when, but given that Microsoft (and most of the industry) wants to avoid clashing with Grand Theft Auto 6 in November, July/August seems like a safe bet. That’s assuming it doesn’t face any sudden delays, and at this point, it’s hard to say.
Currently in development for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, Halo: Campaign Evolved offers a graphically revamped version of the 2001 first-person shooter’s campaign. There’s no competitive multiplayer – only four-player campaign co-op, but cross-play is enabled. While it’s sticking to the original’s story with changes to level design and new weapons, there will be three brand-new prequel missions to run through.
We haven’t seen them yet, and at this point, Microsoft could be saving them for its next Xbox Games Showcase in June. As always, stay tuned for updates.
