Halo Studios has super-glued a July 28, 2026 release date to its highly anticipated Halo remake, Halo: Campaign Evolved, which brings the iconic franchise to PS5 for the first time.
The studio also detailed the new three-mission story arc included with Halo: Campaign Evolved, known as Operation: METEORITE, which takes place a year before the events of Halo. Here, we find Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson taking part in a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel, where they encounter more than they bargain on what should have been as simple smash and grab.
Beyond that, Halo: Campaign Evolved will come in three different versions, as detailed below:
- Standard Edition ($49.99 / £49.99 / €59.99)
- Includes the full game, featuring the original 10-mission campaign and Operation: METEORITE, a new three-mission story arc.
- Premium Edition ($69.99 / £69.99 / €79.99)
- Includes the full game, up to five days of early access beginning July 23, the Alpha Halo Armory Pack, and the Digital Story & Art Collection.
- The Alpha Halo Armory Pack includes five Master Chief armor skins and six weapon skins. The Digital Story & Art Collection includes Halo: Hungry Buzzards, a new digital short story by Troy Denning that leads into the events of Operation: METEORITE; The Art of Halo: Campaign Evolved digital artbook; and a digital game manual inspired by the original 2001 Halo: Combat Evolved game manual.
- Collector’s Edition ($199.99 SRP / €199.99)
- Includes everything in the Premium Edition, plus a 12-inch Dark Horse Master Chief statue, light-up LED Cortana chip, Steelbook, three original concept art prints, physical version of the reimagined game manual, and a game disc for Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles (the Steam version includes a code only).
