‘Earth will never be the same’
After a recent round of player testing,Halo 2: Anniversary Editionhas a PC release date. The legendary sequel is joiningHalo: The Master Chief Collectionon June 02, 2025, for Steam and Windows 10.
Along with the short but sweet announcement message onTwitterthis morning, 343 Industriesalso shared a screenshottoday that might cause long-forgotten memories to flood your mind. That’s how it hit me, anyway.Halo 2: Anniversarylooks like how Irememberthe game looking in 2004.
It’s easy to forget now since I’ve dropped off the series, but I’ve played a lot ofHaloover the years, and none of the games stuck with me quite likeHalo 2. Right place, right time, right mindset. The stars aligned. My friends were Too Good atHalo 1for me to put up a fight – I was outclassed pretty much every single weekend – butHalo 2? I got in early, and I stood a chance. I adored that multiplayer.
If you already bought into the remastered collection, you’re all squared away – you’ll continue getting moreHalotitles as they’re finalized for PC one by one. If you’ve been biding your time,Halo: The MCCis forty bucks on Steam and the Microsoft Store, and it’s also available through Xbox Game Pass for PC.
Assuming the pricing trend continues like before, you should also be able to buyHalo 2: Anniversaryas a standalone game on Steam for $9.99 if you prefer. That’s how it was forHalo: CEandHalo: Reach.
High frame rate, 4K, and ultrawide support with FOV options should be a dream.
