New Halo: Campaign Evolved Trailer Shows Off Remake on PS5 Pro

Halo: Campaign Evolved was one of the biggest games showcased during the XBOX Games Showcase 2026, and now the upcoming remake has received another trailer that offers a closer look at Microsoft’s reimagining of the original Halo adventure.

The latest footage arrives as excitement around the game continues to grow. Halo: Campaign Evolved has already generated strong interest on Steam, while reports suggest that the game’s Collector’s Edition sold out within hours of becoming available.

New trailer highlights iconic Halo moments

The trailer recreates several memorable scenes from the original Halo: Combat Evolved. It opens with The Pillar of Autumn, bringing one of the franchise’s most recognizable introductions to modern hardware.

Fans also get a close-up look at Sgt. Avery Johnson, one of Halo’s most beloved characters, alongside narration from Jen Taylor, the longtime voice of Cortana.

The footage showcases updated visuals, lighting, environments, and character models, giving players a better idea of how the remake compares to the original release.

Captured on PS5 Pro

One detail that quickly caught the attention of fans was the small text displayed at the bottom of the trailer, which indicates that the footage was captured on a PS5 Pro.

According to reports, the trailer was originally prepared for Sony’s State of Play presentation before being released publicly. Showing the game on PS5 Pro is not particularly surprising, as the console offers performance levels that are relatively close to Microsoft’s Xbox Series X hardware.

The decision also reflects Microsoft’s broader multiplatform strategy, which has seen more Xbox franchises expand beyond Xbox consoles in recent years.
