Quad Damage 1,725 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 "Since Halo Infinite was released, fans had assumed that in addition to new multiplayer modes, 343 was working on new content for the story. But that wasn't the case, according to the people familiar with the situation. Developers were making prototypes in the Unreal Engine and pitching ideas for new Halo games rather than working on new missions for Halo Infinite. Many of those developers were laid off this month and the company isn't actively working on new story content, the people said. A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment. In the eyes of some observers and former 343 employees, the reorganization was a long time coming. The studio, which was founded in 2007 to inherit Halo after Microsoft parted ways with original developer Bungie, has struggled through many challenges, including the release of several polarizing games. Patrick Wren, a former 343 designer, said on Twitter that the job cuts and the state of the Halofranchise overall are the result of "incompetent leadership up top" during Halo Infinite's development that led to "massive stress on those working hard to make Halo the best it can be.""

sugarhigh 519 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 It took this team 8 years to get Master Chief Collection to a "completed" state, and then abandoned split screen on the PC games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Twinblade★ 3,899 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Im not sure how anyone could be excited for more Halo after Infinite. One of the most boring FPS campaigns i've ever played. And the less said about the multiplayer the better.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,230 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 This seems to fit with the idea that they want to bring GamePass to mobile, but they have to start making games run natively on the phone. With Unreal Engine 5, they can probably get a stripped down version running on Android. Probably going to become a free-to-play battle royale garbage franchise at this point.
