But when is it set to arrive, exactly?<\/p>\n<p>Well, a new theory says it may launch in June, possibly even shadow-dropping during Xbox&#8217;s recently announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/03\/see-more-new-ps5-games-from-xbox-in-bumper-june-showcase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">summer showcase event<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This stems from a new promotional collaboration between Xbox and Fanta, which sees several series appearing on cans and bottles of the soft drink&#8217;s various flavours. There will also be some in-game rewards you can redeem from these special edition beverages.<\/p>\n<p>This includes a skin for Master Chief in Halo: Campaign Evolved, namely the Fantastic Spartan Armor. In the <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/2026\/03\/31\/xbox-fanta-collaboration-prizes-rewards\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Xbox Wire post<\/a>, it says the item will be &#8220;redeemable beginning at launch&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/GamingLeaksAndRumours\/comments\/1s9mxo2\/halo_campaign_evolved_to_shadowdroplaunch_soon\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Reddit<\/a> post points out that similar cross-promotions between Xbox and other soda brands like Pepsi and Coca-Cola have lasted two to three months. If this Fanta arrangement follows the same pattern, it&#8217;ll likely continue through June, so the theory goes that the game will arrive around the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously this is just a fan theory, so it could be wide of the mark. However, when you add on top of that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/news\/2026\/02\/microsoft-targeting-halo-ps5-release-in-the-summer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Verge report<\/a> from a while back, which claimed Halo: Campaign Evolved is &#8220;targeting release over the summer&#8221;, it does seem to all line up pretty nicely.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s an &#8220;Available Now!&#8221; announcement during Xbox&#8217;s showcase or comes slightly later, it does appear to be poised for launch in June.<\/p>\n<p>What do you reckon?
