The Halo Campaign Evolved release date might have just been leaked by a dataminer. According to a new report, Halo CE remake could be launching soon on PS5 and Xbox, and it may even include an early access edition.
Halo Campaign Evolved Remake Release Date Reportedly Leaked by Dataminer
As we reported back in 2025, Microsoft has been working on a Halo Campaign Evolved Remake for PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. However, after months of rumors and speculation, the release date for the modern Halo CE reimagining has reportedly been revealed in a new datamine leak on X.
According to a post by Halo dataminer Grunt API, it looks like the Halo CE Remake release date is July 28, 2026, with Early Access starting on July 23. Although it should be pointed out that the leak was presented as a cryptic message, seemingly teasing the game’s launch, with the two dates being revealed. “EA: (18 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1 OR: (8 × 7 × (MMXX + VI) mod 31) + 1.”
Halo CE Remake Leak Explained: Early Access and Full Release Dates
Grunt API’s post has led many players to speculate that it’s the Halo Campaign Evolved release date. However, to be clear, Grunt doesn’t specifically say that’s what the two dates are referencing. Although this is how most Halo fans have interpreted it.
That said, the dataminer does list “EA” and “OR,” which presumably stands for “Early Access” and “Original Release.” Although without the dataminer stating this is the release date, this is a bit of guess work. For what it’s worth, Grunt API also hasn’t pushed back on players and comments that overwhelmingly believe its the Halo Campaign Evolved launch dates.
Is the Halo CE Remake Leak Legit? What We Know So Far
As anyone in the Halo community knows, Grunt API is one of the most legit sources for the Bungie shooter. The dataminer has for years sifted through game files and official data to uncover early information. So if they are posting these dates, then they have a high chance of being accurate.
I only caution people to hold back their expectations somewhat, given the “teaser”-style method the leak was presented in. While we do have two specific dates, we won’t 100% know what they are until Microsoft officially confirms it, or we get another leak that is more specific with details. Of course, with it being Grunt API, it seems that Halo CE Remake will launch this June.
Halo CE Remake Release Date and Times (All Regions)
Assuming the Halo CE Remake release leak is accurate, then that means we are getting two launch dates. For your convenience, we are going to break down when the game is rumored to be released in each region.
Here is when the Halo CE Remake Release dates go live in every region:
Halo Campaign Evolved Early Access
Halo Campaign Evolved Full Launch
If all of this is accurate, then it means Microsoft will launch Halo CE Remake in early access. Players who purchase that edition will get a head start and get to play the game about five days early, starting on July 23, 2026. Again, we should take this latest leak with a grain of salt. But it certainly sounds promising!
