Roadmap
Halo: Campaign Evolved has no public Trello board. The launch window centers on a stable worldwide unlock on July 28, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT, with Premium and Collector's Early Access already open from July 23.
Day-one priorities from pre-release messaging are crossplay co-op stability, platform store sync, and Campaign Remix balance across the full Skull set. Post-launch, expect the usual patch cadence—hotfixes first, then optional content and Remix tuning once player telemetry settles. Nothing beyond launch support is confirmed until official patch notes land.
- Launch window — Early Access July 23; global July 28, 8:00 AM PDT
- Day-one — Game Pass, co-op stability, store and input fixes
- Post-launch — hotfixes first; Remix and METEORITE tuning unconfirmed
Latest News
Early Access for Halo: Campaign Evolved began July 23, 2026 on all platforms for Premium Edition and Collector's Bundle owners. The worldwide launch is July 28, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT, and the game joins Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass on that same day-one unlock.
Halo Studios is maintaining an Early Access known-issues list on Halo Waypoint. The critical blocker is a Two Betrayals softlock: destroying the canyon Banshee before the exit sequence on Tough Luck or Mythic stacks can halt progression until you reload. See the Known Issues page on this wiki for the full tracked list and workarounds.
As a thank-you for Early Access patience, Microsoft's free Sandstone Ancient armor style claim remains open at https://aka.ms/SandstoneAncient. All players can redeem it—Early Access is not required. This wiki tracks verified store and Waypoint posts only; rumor boards and fake Trello screenshots stay off the page.

Early Access unlocked July 23, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT for Premium Edition and Collector's Bundle only. Standard Edition and Game Pass players wait until the global launch on July 28 at 8:00 AM PDT.
