According to the developer, the game will launch alongside an early version of challenges. These challenges will give XP for completing campaign missions in any game from the collection and will refresh each week.

“Each week, the first campaign mission a player completes on each difficulty in each game in MCC will grant XP,” 343 Industries wrote. “Difficulties stack, so completing a mission on Normal will also complete that game’s Easy challenge and so on. Upon completing these challenges, a notification will appear, and the player will receive XP payouts tuned to the difficulty they played on.”

The developer also said that a future update will expand challenges across game modes and award season points and cosmetics alongside XP.

The studio has been steadily adding each game included in Halo: The Master Chief Collection to PC with Halo: Reach last December and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary last March.

Halo 2: Anniversary will be available on May 12 for Steam, Windows Store, and for Xbox Game Pass on PC or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.
