Halo: Campaign Evolved has multiple editions, and here’s what comes in each
Halo: Campaign Evolved makes the Chief shinier than ever, with a graphical overhaul that is worth playing through the game again for.
However, if you’re someone who is looking for more than just the base campaign, there are a couple of beefier options to consider. There is also a pre-order bonus up for grabs, as well as some potential early access if you’re willing to go beyond the standard version.
Here’s all you need to know about each of the Halo: Campaign Evolved editions.
What comes in every Halo: Campaign Evolved edition?
The Standard Edition is obviously the simplest version of Halo: Campaign Evolved, giving you the full game and nothing too wild on top.
That said, if you’re someone who’s down for a pre-order, you’ll still net the Foundry Armory Pack, as it isn’t just reserved for those who want to go all out on the higher tier versions.
The Premium Edition is where things get more interesting, especially if you fancy a bit of early access.
Pre-ordering the Premium Edition gives you up to five days of that early access, beginning July 23, 2026. It also includes the base game, the aforementioned Foundry Armory Pack, Alpha Halo Armory Pack, Art of Halo: Campaign Evolved Digital Artbook, Halo: Hungry Buzzards Digital Short Story, and a Digital Game Manual.
The Alpha Halo Armory Pack contains a bunch of armor skins and six weapon skins, allowing for you to switch up Chief’s look plenty of times during your playthrough.
And finally, there’s the Collector’s Edition, which could be worth the eye-watering price if you’ve been a fan since the start.
This version includes everything from the Premium Edition, plus a physical bundle of extras. The Xbox Series X and PS5 versions include a physical game disc and Premium Edition upgrade voucher, while the Steam version comes with a Premium Edition voucher code.
On top of that, the Collector’s Edition includes a collectible SteelBook, a 12-inch Master Chief statue by Dark Horse, an LED replica of Cortana’s data chip, three 11×17-inch concept art prints, and a physical version of the reimagined game manual.
