Halo: Campaign Evolved studio outlines five key updates that'll drop with next week's big patch

A new update is set to arrive for Halo: Campaign Evolved next week, between August 17th and August 21st. The five key changes in the patch include improvements to chromatic aberration, magnified skull mechanics, Sgt. Johnson's AI, along with stability fixes across various platforms. However, players should note that their mid-mission save data will be invalidated following the patch deployment.

The patch notes will be released as soon as the update is rolled out. Despite its initial launch performance, Halo: Campaign Evolved has struggled on PS5, where competing ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 have outsold it significantly. The game's co-creator, Marcus Lehto, has expressed opinions on the game's art style and level design alterations.

Following the game's release, several contractor positions were eliminated due to recent layoffs at the Xbox division, which cut 3,200 salaried positions earlier this year. Despite these setbacks, Halo Studios appears to be proceeding with plans for a Halo 2 remake, which was hinted at at the end of Campaign Evolved.
