Halo: Campaign Evolved is still more than a month awayand sometimes it is too long to wait. Fortunately, one fan has taken matters into his own hands. mangled mooseas they are known online, it is recreating the “Silent Cartographer” mission from Halo inside – checks notes -Fortnite.
Yes, that is correct. Using Unreal Editor for Fortnite, a tool that allows creators to create custom in-game experiences, WreckedElk is recreating the same parts as the anticipated Halo: Combat Evolved remake, complete with cinematics, co-op support, custom HUD elements, voice acting, and more.
The project itself is incredibly ambitious and in every way. While the full experience isn’t available yet, the developer says it will launch this summer.
For now, if you want to try it out, there are currently three missions available:
- Level 1 (Boarding Action): 4188-5631-1827
- Level 2 (Land): 0553-6413-5190
- Level 3 (Night Coverage): 2777-9577-3967
Honestly, I’m a big fan of anything created by the community for Halo. As hungry as we’ve been as a fanbase over the years, it’s often been the community that has kept the spirit of Halo alive, whether through projects like this or the countless mods available for Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
There’s certainly no shortage of community-created content to keep Halo fans like myself busy while we wait to see what Halo Studios releases next, in this case Halo: Campaign Evolved. While it’s a shame that fans often rely on community projects to help fill in the gaps, especially for a franchise that’s been so underutilized, it’s still great to see people putting so much passion and effort into keeping Halo alive.
Even former Bungie developers have talked about Halo’s untapped potentialwhich makes projects like this even more impressive. Whether you’re interested in custom campaigns, mods, or entirely new experiences, the Halo community continues to prove itself to be one of the franchise’s greatest strengths.
With that said and my thoughts/rants out of the way, let me know your thoughts on this ambitious community project in the comments and by participating in our survey below:
