343 Industries reassures fans by assuring a future for the saga

A clear and concise message was needed. 343 Industries was causing a lot of doubts among its fans due to the franchise’s uncertain future since it was the studio that was hit the hardest after Microsoft’s 10,000 layoffs. The controversy generated a massive scandal; even former members of the team of developers fiercely denounced Microsoft’s management.

Halo and Master Chief are here to stay

Fortunately, everything seems to calm down little by little, allowing fans to be more reassured. As far as the official Halo Twitter account is concerned, Pierre Hitze, head of the studio, has issued an official statement that reassures, stating that:

“Halo and Master Chief are here to stay.”

The 343 Industries team probably made this announcement in response to rumors that this studio would become the Halo franchise’s coordinator, something that has not happened.

The statement goes on and portends the future of Halo with 343 Industries; Hitze notes:

” 343 Industries will continue to develop Halo now and in the future, including epic stories, multiplayer, and more of what makes Halo great. “

This statement does not ensure they will not collaborate with other studios.

For the franchise led by Master Chief, there are encouraging developments for the future. However, the management of the release of content for Halo Infinite bothers players. For this reason, the 343i team needs to deliver its best work in the upcoming releases to convince this group of fans that Halo is in good hands.

What we thought of the content of the winter update for Halo Infinite

The most significant update since the launch of the game.

The sequel to the popular title initially got a good rating. However, the enthusiasm of fans faded due to the lack of updates.

Fortunately, in the winter update came the Forge game mode. A game mode with more freedom and depth in the game. At the same time, two new multiplayer maps arrived: Argyle and Detachment.

For this update, the developers found a solution to the problem that users complained about: the difficulty of leveling up in multiplayer mode. Players earn EXP by playing and completing matches and additional EXP for outstanding achievements.

In addition, with the winter update, different modes were added to the permanent playlist:

• Quick Game
• Big Team Battle
• Qualifying Arena
• Party
• Tactical Assassin
• Team assassin

Last but not least, the update revises the matchmaking system and improves lobbies where teams are unequal.
