PlayStation is getting its first ever Halo game in the form of the newly unveiled Halo: Campaign Evolved - a remake of the landmark first shooter in the series, also coming to Xbox and PC - and it sounds like the era of exclusivity is over for Master Chief.

The longer, more nuanced answer is that, done correctly, Halo: Campaign Evolved could set the pace for the future of Halo. It’s a chance not just to modernize a classic, but to correct the shortcomings of the 2011 remaster, and to establish a new method for producing Halo games. Again, if done correctly.

As part of a strategic shift away from exclusivity, Microsoft is bringing Halo to Sony’s competing console for the first time.
