343 Industries' community manager seemingly shut down rumors that the studio will only be supervising theHalofranchise, rather than leading the development of future Halo games.
After the claims were widely circulated and received a weird amount of traction, senior community manager John Junyszek responded to tweets calling the rumors “false” and factually incorrect. “It has been - and always will be - wild out there,” Junyszek tweeted earlier this week, seemingly mythbusting the rumor.
343 Industries previously released a very similar statement during those layoffs, when reports also suggested that the team would only franchise the Halo license out to other companies.“Halo and Master Chief are here to stay,“studio head Pierre Hintz said at the time. “343 Industries will continue to develop Halo now and in the future, including epic stories, multiplayer, and more of what makes Halo great.”
343 Industries is also currentlyhiringlead game designers, UI designers, systems designers, concept artists, sound engineers, and more - all roles that would indicate that at least some in-house Halo development would be taking place in the studio literally named after Halo.
