Story setup

Halo: Campaign Evolved launches July 28 on Xbox Series consoles, PC, cloud and PlayStation 5. Halo Studios says it rebuilt the original campaign with modern controls, rearranged encounters and three new prequel missions starring Master Chief and Sergeant Johnson. Four-player online co-op is included, alongside two-player couch co-op. The question is not whether there is more Halo here. It is whether all that modernisation preserves the rhythm people remember. Here is the New Missions trailer.
