I hope this means the remaining staff have been consolidated rather than let go, but this is 2026 after all. I'm sure employees at 343/hs meant well, had compelling ideas and goals, and were ultimately held back by management.

I don't revel in people losing their jobs, but I do truly hope they've finally ousted problematic figures in studio management like Pierre.

On the one hand 343 as a studio was deeply incompetent and didn't deserve Halo. On the other, it was their namesake and they at least had reason to try. A random Activision studio getting it with zero investment in the property scares me more.

    No no, literally any studio would be an improvement coming from 343 "Halo Studios." I would take a Halo game from an Electronic Arts or Ubisoft studio at this point. There is no way to make it any worse, so at most it would stay the same.

    I certainly would have preferred not Activision, but at least they have a lot of experience with a wide variety of games they published. There is more potential there than with 343.
