Halo: Campaign Evolved Preview
Halo: Campaign Evolved seems like it's going to be a stunner, but I still have a few questions after playing.
A promising start, Halo: Campaign Evolved is a remake of the first game's legendary single-player offering and is absolutely beautiful.
Diving into the start of the fan-favorite 'The Silent Cartographer' mission, it's clear why the developers chose this section of the campaign to show off their vision.
- It's a level that back in 2001 seemed incredibly ahead of its time.
- A semi-open environment that encouraged exploration and defied the more linear designs of other first-person shooter (FPS) games of the era.
It was a real looker, too, with lush sandy beaches that provided breathtaking views across a wide ocean expanse.
Built in Unreal Engine 5, Halo: Campaign Evolved is very much positioned to recapture the same sense of magic and wonder when it launches in 2026.
Author's summary: Halo Campaign Evolved is a beautiful remake.
