Halo: Campaign Evolved is getting a free update later this year that will add Firefight, the franchise’s popular wave-based horde mode, to the game. It’s likely to be the last bit of Halo content to be developed by what remains of Halo Studios as the series moves under Activision.
Earlier this year, Xbox launched Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is set to be the last major Halo game developed by longtime franchise stewards Halo Studios, formerly 343 Industries. While the remake was fine, the $50 price tag felt high considering it didn’t include any multiplayer deathmatch mode or anything else beyond the campaign and some bonus missions you could play alone or with pals. So when it was reported in October that Firefight was going to be added to Campaign Evolved, fans were hopeful. And now Xbox has confirmed that Firefight is indeed being added to the remake soon.
On November 12, Xbox announced via its official website that Firefight is being added to the remake as part of a free update planned to arrive this winter. Folks going to Halo Fest in December will get a chance to play it early before it’s added to the remake. Firefight in Campaign Evolved will support up to four players, just like the campaign’s co-op mode.
Xbox didn’t share any other details about what to expect, but hopefully this is a classic Firefight experience like what we had in Halo: Rea ch and Halo 3: ODST , the game that introduced the wave-based horde mode to the series nearly 20 years ago.
