與原作不同的是，除完整重製原有戰役外，還新增三個全新前傳任務，由士官長與Johnson軍士長領銜，帶領玩家體驗在《Halo: Combat Evolved》故事之前的未知篇章。這些任務不僅在環境設計、敵人種類及遊戲機制上帶來全新變化，更進一步拓展整個《Halo》宇宙的敘事深度。

在視覺表現上，全面升級至4K Ultra HD畫質，場景以高精度模型重建，外星建築與環帶生態呈現出壯闊又充滿細節的奇幻氛圍。所有過場動畫與角色動作都以現代標準重新製作，搭配經過混音重編的經典配樂與全新錄製的語音，營造更強烈的臨場感與情感張力。

玩法上，強化動作流暢度與武器系統，並導入系列中後期才出現的多種標誌性武器，如能量劍、針刺步槍與戰鬥步槍，讓戰鬥節奏更加多變。能以更細膩的瞄準與移動操作，結合奔跑、閃避與奪取載具等動作，重現Halo標誌性的戰場體驗。這次，甚至能奪取敵方載具並駕駛幽靈坦克進行全面戰鬥，呈現出前所未有的混亂與刺激。

支援單人遊玩、主機平台的雙人分割畫面合作模式，以及最多四人線上合作模式。無論使用何種平台，都能透過跨平台對戰與跨平台進度共享 功能，與好友一同並肩作戰或重返戰場。

在市場評價方面，自公開以來引起了熱烈關注與期待。玩家與媒體普遍認為，這款重製版不僅是向2001年初代《Halo》的致敬，更是一次徹底的現代化重生。其使用Unreal Engine 5打造的高品質光影與場景細節被讚譽為「系列史上最震撼的視覺表現」。此外，三個全新任務與跨平台合作功能的加入，也被視為延續《Halo》精神的重要革新。

然而，也有部分老玩家擔憂新版操作與節奏過於「現代化」，可能失去原作的戰略感與節奏感。不過整體而言，評論界一致認為這是一次「用心且有誠意」的重製，既保留經典靈魂，也成功吸引新世代玩家。

如今距離初代《Halo》問世已25年，《Halo: Campaign Evolved》不僅象徵著Xbox 經典系列正式登陸PlayStation平台，更宣告一個跨越主機界線、凝聚所有光環玩家的新時代來臨。這場跨越世代的戰鬥，再次將士官長的傳奇帶回每位玩家的手中。

Halo: Campaign Evolved is a full-scale remake of the legendary Halo: Combat Evolved campaign, built entirely from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5. Developed by Halo Studios, the game is set to release in 2026 on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC (Steam), marking a historic moment — for the first time in 25 years, Halo will officially launch on PlayStation platforms.

This modern reimagining faithfully preserves the soul of the 2001 original while transforming every aspect of its presentation, gameplay, and storytelling for a new generation. Players once again step into the armor of Master Chief, who crash-lands on the mysterious ringworld known as Halo after a devastating space battle. Alongside his AI companion Cortana, he must fight against the overwhelming Covenant forces and uncover the ring’s dark secret — a weapon capable of wiping out all sentient life in the galaxy.

The remake not only recreates the entire original campaign with redesigned levels, cinematic cutscenes, refined pacing, and updated controls, but also introduces three brand-new prequel missions starring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson. These missions expand the lore preceding the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, featuring new environments, enemies, and gameplay mechanics that deepen the narrative and enrich the world of Halo.

Visually, Halo: Campaign Evolved has been rebuilt in 4K Ultra HD, with completely remade environments, alien structures, and atmospheric lighting that breathe life into the iconic ringworld. Every cinematic has been reshot with modern animation standards, while the soundtrack has been remixed and remastered, featuring newly recorded voice performances from the original cast to heighten emotional immersion.

Combat feels familiar yet enhanced — movement is smoother, gunplay is sharper, and the weapon roster has expanded to include nine fan-favorite arms from across the series, such as the Energy Sword, Battle Rifle, and Needler. For the first time in Halo: CE, players can hijack enemy vehicles, including fully controllable Ghost tanks, allowing for chaotic and cinematic battlefield moments that blend nostalgia with new mechanics.

The remake offers both solo play and multiplayer options, including 2-player split-screen co-op (console only) and 4-player online co-op with full cross-play and cross-progression support. Whether on console or PC, players can experience the full campaign with friends, seamlessly sharing progress across platforms.

A key feature of this remake is the “Skulls System,” which lets players activate optional gameplay modifiers that radically alter combat, enemies, and environmental conditions — creating endless replayability. The new “Remix Campaign” mode further enhances this by allowing players to revisit missions with randomized variables for fresh challenges each time.

From a market and critical standpoint, Halo: Campaign Evolved has generated enormous anticipation since its announcement. Fans and critics have hailed it as a respectful yet ambitious rebirth — one that honors the legacy of the original while embracing the full potential of modern technology. Early previews have praised its breathtaking use of Unreal Engine 5, its cinematic atmosphere, and its blend of old-school Halo combat with modern mechanics.

Some veteran players have voiced mild concerns that the smoother, faster pacing might dilute the strategic rhythm of the original game, but overall, industry consensus frames this as a “faithful yet forward-looking” remake. Many see it not only as a revitalization of Halo’s legacy but as a symbol of unity — bridging console generations and bringing fans from all platforms together.

Twenty-five years after Halo: Combat Evolved changed gaming forever, Halo: Campaign Evolved stands as both a nostalgic tribute and a bold new beginning — reintroducing Master Chief’s iconic story with modern visuals, refined gameplay, and a renewed spirit that promises to reignite the legend for decades to come.
