PayPalMicrosoft / Xbox Games Studios revealed Halo: Campaign Evolved, which will be releasing sometime in 2026 and it will have a Steam release too. As long as there's no major annoyances from Microsoft here, it should hopefully run well enough on Linux based systems using Valve's Proton.
Coming from Halo Studios, the original is being remade in Unreal Engine 5. It will be coming with "stunning new 4K visuals, updated animations, remastered music, and re-recorded voice lines". Plus we're getting treated to weapons and vehicles from later games in the series, and three new bonus prequel campaign missions. We also get up to 4 player online co-op with cross-play, but split-screen is once again console-only.
See the main trailer below:

And additionally 13 minutes more gameplay:

So how many times has this Halo been released now? We had the original on Xbox, then Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo PC, Halo: The Master Chief Collection and now Halo: Campaign Evolved. Did I miss any?

You can also find comments for this article on social media: Splitscreen is going to be console-only.. again.
Also I don't think there's been mention of the iconic multiplayer? I don't want to sound so negative, just really love Halo and always get disappointed by 343

I am vehemently against game exclusivity but it's worrisome to see Halo go cross-platform. I'm glad it is but I worry that this is the death knell for Xbox. I don't think it'll be soon but Xbox hardware dying is not good for competition or consumers.
If Xbox dies, PlayStation will probably die too, since PlayStation has worse hardware and much more limited software.
