Adrian has been writing, critiquing, and thinking about games since he first picked up an N64 controller many years ago. These days he writes reviews, news, and features for Game Rant and believes games should be held to the same artistic standards as books, movies, and television shows. When he’s not writing for Game Rant, Adrian writes even more reviews for Sirus Gaming and likes to get nerdy about tech and retro games at HackerNoon. Outside the gaming world, he spends plenty of time enjoying movies or listening to every genre of music under the sun.

Ahead of its upcoming July 2026 release, Halo Studios has given fans a first look at the three new missions coming to Halo: Campaign Evolved, which should make fans of Sergeant Johnson. Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to retell the original story of Master Chief from 2001’s Halo: Combat Evolved, reimagined in Unreal Engine 5, with a couple of new features for fans to look forward to.
At the Xbox Games Showcase 2026, Halo Studios finally revealed what’s in store for fans with its three new missions coming to Halo: Campaign Evolved. Titled Operation: Meteorite, the three prequel story missions follow Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson one year before the events of Combat Evolved as they take down a Covenant research vessel. What’s more, Operation: Meteorite is set to include new enemy types and more weapon types from across the Halo series. Halo Studios has also confirmed that the game will launch on July 28, 2026, for Xbox Series X and PS5 after some rumors and speculation had put Halo: Campaign Evolved at a mid-summer release date.
