Xbox CEO Announces Surprise Firefight Mode For Halo: Campaign Evolved
The free update restores Firefight, a wave-based player-versus-environment mode, and gives the remake its first multiplayer feature after launch.
- Earlier, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma announced that Firefight, a wave-based PvE mode, is coming to Campaign Evolved this winter as a free update.
- Campaign Evolved initially launched without multiplayer, which drew criticism given its $50 price tag; the game is developed by Halo Studios, formerly 343 Industries.
- Firefight, introduced in ODST nearly 20 years ago, tasks players with surviving increasingly difficult waves of Covenant and Flood enemies; the update supports up to four players.
- Attendees at Halo Fest will access the mode early in December. Reports suggest Theater Mode might also arrive, though uncertainty remains whether developers can complete updates before studio closure.
- Following summer layoffs, Microsoft handed the next mainline Halo title to Activision, which is spinning up a new team. The franchise moves toward future projects built on Unreal Engine.
