With the franchise undergoing some major structural changes and a new studio at the helm for its next entry, Halo: Campaign Evolved is still kicking with new content to keep players engaged with the experience. While it might not be the return of the classic PvP mode that helped make the original Halo: Combat Evolved so iconic, the free update coming this winter is still a fan-favorite addition.
While most of Campaign Evolved's updates so far have simply been free cosmetic DLC, it was announced on the official Halo account on X that the "classic PvE experience" with Firefight will be returning, letting players experience the remake as a 4-player co-op horde shooter.
While there is no exact release date just yet for when we can expect the mode to go live in Campaign Evolved, the free content update is slated to arrive later this Winter, with more details revealed at this year's Halo Fest running from December 12–13.
Fans lucky enough to attend the Halo Fest event taking place in Seattle, WA will also have a chance to go hands-on with the mode for the first time.
