Halo: Campaign Evolved rebuilds the original campaign in Unreal Engine 5 while introducing Operation: METEORITE, three brand-new story missions featuring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson. The remake also adds four-player online co-op, new collectible Skulls, Campaign Remix mode, expanded weapons, and overhauled visuals and audio.
