Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary PC version testing begins in January 2020

343 Industries has confirmed Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, the remake of the very first Halo game that 343 created in 2011, will begin flighting later this month.

343 Industries fills us in on a new update:

“Our goal is to kick off flighting in January for Rings 1 and 2 but it’s possible it could end up slightly delayed. Recently, a new crash has been identified in Halo Wars 2 on PC that is stopping play for keyboard and mouse players.”

Rings 1 and 2 testing will begin this month and Ring 3 testing will begin in February. Learn more about testing rings here.
