- Halo Campaign Evolved is reportedly reusing assets from Halo Infinite.
- Therefore, the remake won’t preserve the art style of the original.
- It is also being built on Unreal Engine 5.
Last year, Microsoft finally announced the future of the Halo franchise, which is set for new beginnings, starting with a remake of the first game. Halo Campaign Evolved is releasing sometime this year, possibly in the summer season.
That remake might not be what fans have expected, though. A new report reveals that Halo Campaign Evolved reuses assets from Halo Infinite and, as such, won’t be a one-to-one remake of 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved.
Why it matters: Halo: Campaign Evolved already received a remake on its anniversary, but was under scrutiny for altering the original’s art style, and the same may yet happen again.
Rebs Gaming, known Halo leaker, claims to have been tipped off by his source about more information on Halo Campaign Evolved’s development. This new report reveals that the remake will be reusing assets from 2020’s Halo Infinite.
Specifically, Covenant and UNSC Marine models are being used from Halo Infinite and not being remade. It seems that for the remake, Xbox wants to keep the budget minimal, given that it is a single-player mode only.
This means that the remake won’t match the original style in 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved. Still, Halo Studios previously claimed that the remake would be faithful to the original.
This isn’t all, though, as Halo Campaign Evolved also features other changes, such as 3 new prequel missions and references to other games like Halo: Reach in an attempt tie together the events throughout the Halo timeline.
A new Covenant faction will also appear in the game and brutes will also be featured in the prequel missions.
The remake is being built on Unreal Engine 5 as will future Halo games. Although, this decision isn’t looking too great as Halo Campaign Evolved was already showing stuttering signs. Furthermore, reports have also revealed that Generative AI is being heavily leveraged in the game’s development.
