In a recent Halo Twitter post, 343 Industries Studio Head Pierre Hintze said, “Halo and Master Chief are here to stay.” The brief statement emphasises the studio’s ambitions to remain the producer of any future Halo games and stories. Earlier in the week, reports started circulating that Microsoft was contemplating withdrawing 343 Industries from Halo projects. The tweet raises doubts about whether there have been boardroom meetings where deals were made to maintain 343 Industries as the Halo franchise developer, or if the developer is putting up a fight for its marquee project.
