Halo: Campaign Evolved is getting Firefight, a four-player cooperative PvE mode, via a free update planned for later this winter. The update is framed as bringing back Firefight—described across coverage as a staple co-op mode where players team up to face wave-based enemy encounters.
Several outlets note that Halo: Campaign Evolved initially launched without multiplayer modes and is now expanding with Firefight as an added mode. Coverage also highlights timing, with “sometime later this winter” recurring, and one outlet points to additional details being shared around an event.
Across reports, the main differences are in emphasis: some lead with the mode’s “horde”/wave-holding framing or the co-op focus, while others stress the game’s earlier lack of multiplayer. One outlet explicitly mentions PlayStation 5 in the headline framing, while most focus on the update itself without platform expansion details. Overall, the articles largely agree on what is coming (Firefight) and that it is free.
