343 Industries has taken to Twitter to squash rumors alleging that it might take a backseat position within the growth of the Halo franchise.
A few days in the past, a rumor began circulating alleging that the studio could be faraway from actively creating the Halo franchise and would as a substitute coordinate the efforts made by different groups. The rumor was bounced round by a number of media shops which contributed to portraying it as credible. Seems, it wasn’t.
Now 343 has stepped in to clear the air with the next message:
“Halo and Grasp Chief are right here to remain.
343 Industries will proceed to develop Halo now and sooner or later, together with epic tales, multiplayer, and extra of what makes Halo nice.”
The transient message is signed by studio head Pierre Hintze.
In case you are questioning, TechRaptor declined to report the preliminary rumor, because it didn’t match our requirements for reliability.
343 Indstries was fashioned by Microsoft in 2007 following the departure of Bungie from the home of Xbox so as to oversee the Halo franchise and develop its mainline video games. It has since developed a number of video games together with Halo 4, Halo 5: Guardians, and the most recent, Halo Infinite, on high of the Grasp Chief Assortment.
Final yr, former studio head Bonnie Ross give up after 15 years on the helm, whereas a number of days in the past, the studio has reportedly been hit by layoffs throughout a sweeping spherical of redundancies that resulted within the termination of roughly 10,000 positions at Microsoft.
In the intervening time, we do not but have any data on what we are able to count on from the Halo franchise in time period of recent video games, however contemplating that Halo Infinite has been launched solely a bit greater than a yr in the past, it is possible that it will be some extra time earlier than Microsoft is able to open the floodgates and share particulars on its plans for the way forward for the collection.
