Microsoft announced the release date for Halo: Campaign Evolved during its 2026 Xbox Summer Showcase. The remake of the 2001 original will launch on July 28 for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. A premium edition offers five days of early access.
The game will arrive on July 28 for $50. Players who purchase the $70 premium edition gain access starting July 23. It marks the first Halo title to release on PlayStation 5. New content includes Operation: Meteorite, a three-mission story arc set one year before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. The missions follow Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson on a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The announcement confirmed long-standing rumors of a summer launch. The title remains multiplatform despite recent shifts in Xbox strategy toward more exclusives.
