A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/halo-2-and-halo-3-remakes-are-coming-report-says\/1100-6539784\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report in May<\/a> from Rebs Gaming purported that the two remakes are moving forward &#8220;regardless of how well Campaign Evolved does.&#8221; Halo 2 got a remaster in the form of Halo 2 Anniversary, which was part of 2014&#8217;s Halo: The Master Chief Collection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Campaign Evolved is the first title from the rebranded Halo Studios.
