Halo: Campaign Evolved PS5

Halo Studios has announced a new PS5 update for Halo: Campaign Evolved will go live next week that includes a raft of fixes and technical improvements.

There'll be more to the patch, but the developer has shared some of the biggest things it's fixing with the update:

  • Improvements to Sgt. Johnson to prevent blocked mission progression.
  • Jackals can now be staggered more reliably when targeting their hands and feet.
  • Marines and Flood Marines will now fire their Assault Rifles when the Magnified Skull is activated.
  • Players can now turn off Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain.
  • Additional stability improvements across multiple platforms.

I actually encountered those first two issues during my pre-release playthrough for review. When playing The Most Dangerous Game, Sgt. Johnson wouldn't move when we reached the first bridge area. I had to push his character model along to get the checkpoint and objective to progress.

Then, I was surprised by the changes made to Jackals, which are the small enemies that carry around shields. In the previous versions, you were reliably able to shoot the hole on the side of their shield to stagger and then kill them. This wasn't happening as much in Halo: Campaign Evolved, and next week's patch seeks to rectify that.

The patch also updates Marines and soldiers taken over by the Flood to shoot their Assault Rifles when the Magnified Skull is active, which tweaks the gun to have 60 bullets per magazine. Having downloaded the update, you will also be able to turn off Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain.

Next week's patch makes an excellent PS5 remake run eveven better, with my Halo: Campaign Evolved PS5 review ending with a 9/10 rating. "Halo: Campaign Evolved has brought back a true classic in style, faithfully remaking and expanding one of the best shooters of all time," I said last month. If you're yet to play it, my Halo Campaign Evolved guide documents all the collectible locations.
