by

Great news for PlayStation fans! Microsoft has confirmed that the original Halo game is being completely rebuilt for PS5, now called Halo: Combat Evolved. You can add it to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store now, and it’s scheduled to release in 2026.

This game offers a reimagined single-player experience, staying true to the original while updating it for modern players. It will not feature any multiplayer modes.

Okay, so they’ve totally revamped the campaign – everything looks amazing in HD now, the cutscenes are updated, and the controls feel way smoother. But that’s not all! They’re also adding three brand new missions that are actually prequels, showing what Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson were up to before the main game even started. Pretty cool, right?

You can play the game alone, with a friend locally in split-screen, or with up to four players online. Plus, players on all platforms – consoles and PC – can play together and share their progress.

Experience the classic missions reimagined with better level design, updated cutscenes, and easier navigation. We’ve polished everything to keep the action flowing while preserving the original game’s sense of adventure, suspense, and bravery.

The game will feature updated graphics, cutscenes, and animations, plus a remastered soundtrack and new voiceovers. Gameplay improvements include a sprint ability and the return of nine fan-favorite weapons like the Energy Sword, Battle Rifle, and Needle Rifle. Players will also be able to aim down the sights of these weapons, a feature not available in the original Xbox version.

Here’s a full mission playthrough of The Silent Cartographer, a classic level from the game:
