Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to receive its first major patch next week, according to GameSpot. The patch, as outlined by the Halo Support X account, will give players more control over the game's visuals and make improvements to Jackals and Sgt. Johnson. The update will add the ability to disable the game's film grain and chromatic aberration, which will please graphics purists.
The patch will also include additional stability improvements across multiple platforms, as stated by GameSpot. On the gameplay front, Jackals are receiving changes so that they can be staggered more reliably when targeting their hands and feet, as has always been the case in Halo. Sgt Johnson is being updated so that he no longer blocks mission progress, which will mostly affect the three new prequel missions included as part of the remake.
Marines and Flood Marines will also correctly fire their Assault Rifles with the Magnified Skull turned on, according to GameSpot. It remains to be seen if the patch will address other issues players have spotted since release, including unresponsive enemy AI and cutscenes that lock up and fail to play properly. Halo Studios states there will be more details in the full patch notes when the update is released.
The launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved may not have gone as well as Halo Studios would have liked, with reports indicating the game is off to a slow start on PlayStation 5 and has sold a combined total of 1.2 million copies across all platforms so far, as reported by GameSpot. The game's performance has led to questions about what is coming next for the franchise, though Halo: Campaign Evolved does seemingly tease a Halo 2 remake.
