Bungie Not Finished With Halo
The majority of Halo developer Bungie’s staff will remain exclusively focused on the upcoming Halo: Reach, and will not work on the new series until work on the game has been completed.
Speaking to 1UP this morning, Bungie’s Brian Jarrard related that today’s announcement that the studio has partnered with Activision for a new project will not detract from Halo’s development.
"To be clear we’re not finished with Halo, we still have a lot of work to do on Reach to make that game awesome for the fall, and that’s definitely going to be our focus," said Jarrard. "You’re not going to hear much about [the new series] for the rest of the year."
According to Jarrard, a small core team is working in the pre-production phase of the studio’s new project, while the "vast majority" of Bungie’s staff remains committed to Reach. The goal, says Jarrard, is that "when Reach completes, we can roll the rest of our team into our new project and hit the ground running and really start going crazy from there."
"We continue to have a great relationship with Microsoft, we’re going to continue working very closely on Reach through launch and beyond, and we’ll continue to be great partners," said Jarrard.
