Releases: Halo: Campaign Evolved
Halo: Campaign Evolved gets free four-player Firefight this winter
Halo Studios plans a free four-player Firefight update this winter, with more details due at Halo Fest in December.
How sure
Official
Halo Studios announced the update; its release date and map count are still unknown.
This winter, Halo: Campaign Evolved will gain Firefight, a four-player PvE mode, at no extra cost. Halo Fest attendees can try it on Dec. 12–13; Halo Studios has not announced a date for the update.
Four players will be able to team up against waves of enemies in Halo: Campaign Evolved’s Firefight mode. The update will cost nothing extra. Xbox FanFest attendees can try it on Nov. 12, and Halo Fest attendees will also get a chance to play on Dec. 12–13.
The studio says FanFest players will fight on new maps with a range of weapons. Tahir Hasangjekaj, Halo Studios’ director of competitive engagement, says more details are coming at Halo Fest in Seattle on Dec. 12–13. Four Spartans can hold the line together; the exact day they can do it at home is still missing.
In its June FAQ, Halo Studios said it had no plans to turn the game into a live service with continuing content or feature additions. The FAQ also says the game requires a Microsoft account and Xbox Gamertag on every platform. For the game’s online co-op, Xbox players need Game Pass and PS5 players need PlayStation Plus; Steam players must link a Microsoft account.
What we don’t know
Halo Studios has not given a release date for the update or said how many Firefight maps it will include.
That’s the whole story. Back to the main quest.
