Today at the XBOX Games Showcase, we shared the Halo: Campaign Evolved New Missions Trailer, giving players a first look at one of the biggest additions coming to the game: Operation: METEORITE. If you missed our reveal last October, you can revisit our original announcement for more on what’s coming in Halo: Campaign Evolved.
We’re also excited to confirm that Halo: Campaign Evolved launches July 28, 2026, with up to five days of early access beginning July 23 for Premium Edition and Collector’s Edition owners.

A First Look at Operation: METEORITE
Included with every edition of Halo: Campaign Evolved, Operation: METEORITE is a new three-mission story arc that takes place a year before the events of the first game. Featuring the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, this new adventure sends players behind enemy lines in a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. What starts as a simple smash and grab turns more complicated as they encounter more than they bargained for.
While Halo: Campaign Evolved faithfully remakes the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign, Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history.
In today’s trailer, you’ll get a glimpse at what that means in action: fighting alongside UNSC forces, pushing through Covenant-controlled spaces, facing new threats like the Brute Berserker, and even bringing the fight into space.
The story was developed in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning, whose work has helped shape some of the most memorable corners of the Halo universe across multiple acclaimed novels. His involvement helped us ground Operation: METEORITE in the tone, stakes, and military sci-fi texture that players expect from Halo.Pre-Orders Are Available Now
