To help counter these ongoing and emerging threats to humanity, Spartan Jun-A266—the last surviving member of Noble Team—struggles to forge a new generation of warriors on the hidden UNSC base Anvil Station, even as he battles the ghosts of his own past.

But when a renowned xenoarcheologist is brazenly abducted by a Banished strike team, Jun is pulled back into active operations alongside both old and new allies for a dangerous rescue mission, leading them all deep into hostile territory. Now Jun must confront the burden of survival and decide what it truly means to carry Noble Team’s legacy into a new era of conflict as this desperate mission may hold dire consequences far beyond a single missing civilian….

My brief overview on the new Campaign evolved. It's a good time, but doesn't give me faith for Halo Studios going forward.

My wife and I just bought the new Halo for PS5 (her) and PC (me), paid for PS+ so we could play this together, only for it to constantly fail to connect on the PS every time we try to invite or join a game. We have gone through multiple troubleshooting steps, both games are uptodate (8/2/2026), we both have the xbox apps on our phones and make sure we are friends there and can see and message each other in the xbox app before we start the halo games up, both pc and ps5 game screens show us as 'online' and 'in-game' and ready to invite, but the second I, from the pc try to invite her, or she tries to invite me, she gets a network error screen. "Network: trying to connect" hangs there for a few minutes, then dumps her back in the game menu. The pc and PS5 are hardwired with 300 Mbps connections. Crazy!! Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any workarounds?

Saw this on Reddit, figured I'd share it here too.

The devs behind the Custom Edition overhaul mod Halo SPV3 have been working on a new total conversion mod for ODST, which they've finally decided to officially unveil.
In this case, their goal is not an overhaul of the game's campaign like with their previous work. They're more aiming to create their own game using ODST as an engine.

I recommend people to check out the linked blog post. It goes into a lot of detail on the project.

Total attendance will be more than double that of HaloWC 2025. No more tickets will be released, as organizers are prioritizing a quality experience for guests.

Five legendary artists have been commissioned to create new Halo art for the event, including Lorraine McLees (creator of the original Halo logo), Eddie Smith, Craig Mullins, Isaac Hannaford, and Jan Urschel, alongside a slate of community artists.

Special guests announced include Tim Dadabo, the voice of 343 Guilty Spark, and Jeff Steitzer, the iconic Halo multiplayer announcer.
