The official Halo channel released a three-minute cinematic story trailer for Halo: Campaign Evolved on June 8. All footage in the trailer was captured on a PS5 Pro. The note at the start of the video surprised many Xbox fans.
The trailer highlights remade moments from the original Halo: Combat Evolved in a modern engine. It includes cinematics, gameplay peeks, and reworked environments. Online reactions mixed confusion with humor after accounts like Wario64 and Charlie Intel pointed out the PS5 Pro credit. Some users joked about the choice while others expressed frustration. The game is described as one of the last single-player Microsoft titles headed to PlayStation platforms. New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has pushed for more console exclusives, with titles like Gears of War: E-Day now Xbox only. Pre-order options include a statue, five days of early access, and single-player cosmetics.
