Halo Studios has confirmed that Halo: Campaign Evolved will receive a free update this winter, adding the series' classic co-op PvE mode, "Firefight." The update will be available for all versions of the game, support up to four-player co-op, and bring new maps and "plenty of weapons."
In this mode, Spartan warriors must team up to hold their ground, withstand wave after wave of enemies, and survive as long as possible. Available information indicates that the gameplay follows a relatively classic framework, allowing 2 to 4 players to take on the challenge together.
The Flood appear in the promotional key art, suggesting that these enemies may be making their debut in Halo's "Firefight" mode, adding variety to enemy waves that have primarily consisted of the Covenant in the past. However, the promotional image is not enough to confirm the final lineup, and the developers have not yet released a complete list of enemies, weapons, and maps.
Attendees at Xbox FanFest will get early access to try out the update. Halo Studios will also reveal more information at Halo Fest, held on December 12–13. Currently, the developers have only confirmed that the update will launch this winter, without providing a specific public release date. This update will also mark the first time the official Halo PvE multiplayer mode arrives on PlayStation platforms.
