Halo Studios has announced that Halo: Campaign Evolved will receive Firefight mode this winter as a free update. The cooperative survival mode will support up to four players, with new maps and a selection of weapons available for players to use against waves of enemies.
Firefight has been part of the Halo series for nearly two decades, challenging teams to survive increasingly difficult encounters against enemy forces. The mode will return in Halo: Campaign Evolved with four-player cooperative PvE gameplay, allowing players to work together to defend their positions and survive successive waves.
Tahir Hasangjekaj, Director of Competitive Engagement at Halo Studios, confirmed the update and revealed that attendees at Xbox FanFest tonight will be the first to try the new mode.
Halo Studios will share further details about Firefight during Halo Fest, which takes place December 12 and 13 in Seattle, Washington. Those attending the event will also have an opportunity to play the mode throughout the weekend.
The announcement comes as Halo Studios prepares to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Halo and Xbox at Halo Fest. The developer has not announced a specific release date for the Firefight update beyond its planned winter launch.
