Following rumors that it would launch before September, Halo: Campaign Evolved may arrive even sooner than expected. It’s allegedly launching on July 28th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, with early access available from July 23rd (likely for pre-orders).
This comes from leaker grunt.api on Twitter, who has unearthed details about other Halo games directly from the API. He posted a GIF of a comet alongside the text, “EA: (18 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1, OR: (8 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1.” After some math and figuring out that EA stands for “early access” and “OR” stands for “official release,” the community deduced the supposed release dates. If that wasn’t enough, the comet is probably a reference to the Fanta collaboration skin’s emblem.
Microsoft and Halo Studios haven’t confirmed any of this, much less provided a release window aside from 2026. However, it’s reportedly content complete, with the entire game, including the three new prequel missions, playable from start to finish. Polishing makes up a significant part of the home stretch, but if the July release dates are correct, then it may be even closer to done than many believed.
It’s almost a given that Halo: Campaign Evolved will turn up at the Xbox Games Showcase on June 7th (which is followed immediately after by a Gears of War: E-Day Direct). Stay tuned for more updates until then, and head here to learn more about how the ODSTs and Brutes are reportedly involved.
