"PC. The announcement was made during the Halo World Championships, where Halo Studios smartly decided to show off the new game in a 13-minute long demo. The Halo franchise doesn't have the same cache it once did, so I think it was a good idea to properly show off the remake rather than just put out a short teaser trailer."
"This is not just a remaster, though, as Campaign Evolved is going to feature three new missions that take place before the events of the campaign. In them, you'll fight alongside series icon Sergeant Avery Johnson. Canonically speaking, there's just 20 days between the events of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo: Reach. These three new missions might act as a bridge between the two games."
"Other weapons from across the franchise are also getting added to the game, including the Needler and Energy Sword. This is an interesting choice because it could upset the balance of the gameplay, as will the inclusion of so many players. Halo Studios will need to rework the encounters to make all everything work."
Halo: Campaign Evolved is a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved, arriving on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC without multiplayer. A 13-minute demo revealed that the remake includes three new pre-campaign missions featuring Sergeant Avery Johnson, potentially bridging Combat Evolved and Reach. Players can play two-player split-screen or up to four-player online with cross-play and cross-progression. Additional franchise weapons like the Needler and Energy Sword are added, and encounters may be reworked to balance more players and new armaments. Vehicle hijacking is possible and the Warthog gains a fourth seat. Visuals include motion-captured animations and newly recorded dialogue, plus new audio.
