## Key points

- Firefight is coming to *Halo: Campaign Evolved* as a free update.
- Xbox will share more details at Halo Fest from 12 December.
- The article questions whether the addition can revive interest in the remake.

## Summary

Xbox says *Halo: Campaign Evolved* will add Firefight, a co-operative mode in which players defend against waves of increasingly dangerous enemies. The free update is the remake’s first announced addition since August, but its sparse details and long wait have left the article’s writer doubtful that it will improve the game’s fortunes.

Xbox plans to share more about the update at Halo Fest, starting on 12 December. The remake revisits the original *Halo* campaign, adds three new levels and does not include multiplayer; the article argues that Firefight alone may not give players a reason to return. It also notes that Xbox has handed control of Halo to Activision, but the company’s plans for the series remain unclear.
