A new report from Bloomberg has shed light on what’s happening at Halo developer 343 Industries, and it sounds like major changes are afoot within regards to the organization of the studio, the types of games it develops, and how it makes them.
Starting off, the report said 343 Industries was majorly impacted by Microsoft’s recent layoffs, with a reported 95 developers let go. Affected developers included “dozens of veterans,” including “top directors,” the report said.
It was previously reported that 343 might shift away from developing games and instead work with third-party studios on new projects. 343 already said this is not necessarily true, and Xbox boss Matt Booty told Bloomberg that 343 will “continue as the internal developer for Halo and as the home of Halo.”
