Halo Studios has announced that a new technical update for Halo: Campaign Evolved on PlayStation 5 will launch next week, targeting progression blockers, enemy behavior, and graphical settings.
Quick Facts
- Platform: PlayStation 5
- Release Window: Next week
- Developer: Halo Studios
- Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
Confirmed Patch Changes
The upcoming patch addresses several issues identified by players and reviewers since the game's release:
- Sgt. Johnson Progressions: Fixes an issue with Sgt. Johnson on bridges that previously blocked mission progression, preventing him from getting stuck and halting objectives.
- Jackal Staggering: Adjusts Jackals so they can be staggered more reliably when players target their hands and feet.
- Magnified Skull Behavior: Updates Marines and Flood Marines to properly fire their Assault Rifles when the Magnified Skull is active, tweaking the magazine to 60 bullets.
- Visual Toggles: Adds the option for players to turn off Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain.
- Stability: Includes additional stability improvements across multiple platforms.
Player Impact and Action Required
Players experiencing progression halts involving Sgt. Johnson or inconsistent Jackal shield responses will find these issues directly addressed by the patch. Additionally, those who prefer a cleaner image without post-processing filters can now disable Chromatic Aberration and Film Grain directly in the settings once the update is downloaded.
