Halo is looking for a fresh start, and today’s 2025 Halo Project Update livestream could give it just that.

As the name suggests, Microsoft's new Halo: Campaign Evolved remake focuses on just the story mode of its famous OG Xbox shooter - and now developer Halo Studios has explained the thinking behind dropping PvP multiplayer for its new version of Halo.

Microsoft’s Xbox is remaking the original Halo video game with plans to support multiplayer gaming across several consoles for the first time.

Damon Conn (executive producer) and Brian Jarrard (Halo Studios community director) speak exclusively with EW about the newly revealed "Halo: Campaign Evolved."

Rather than create a new Halo game, Microsoft will resurrect and modernize the original. On Friday, the company’s Xbox team announced it’s preparing a "full remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign.

Microsoft is taking one of its most popular and recognisable game series to a rival console for the first time.

PlayStation is getting its first ever Halo game in the form of the newly unveiled Halo: Campaign Evolved - a remake of the landmark first shooter in the series, also coming to Xbox and PC - and it sounds like the era of exclusivity is over for Master Chief.

The creative team behind Halo: Campaign Evolved has declined to reply to recent questions about the use of generative AI. This has led to a lot of suspicion from the gaming community.

Halo: Campaign Evolved, debuting for the first time on PS5, will feature two-player split-screen and four-player online campaign co-op – but it won’t have competitive multiplayer. Obviously, the LAN tournaments in the original Halo: Combat Evolved were a formative part of the franchise’s experience, so it’s odd to see any form of PvP absent here.
