[Speculation] Bungie will once again be involved with the Halo Franchise/co-owners of I.P. with Microsoft
After the handling of the
Halo franchise by
343 Studios(mass departures, uncertain direction/future, delays, etc) for
Microsoft I have a very strong feeling their have been "discussions" between
Bungie and
Microsoft to
come back aboard the I.P. that
Bungie created:
HALO.
"Feelers sent out?" "Cross promotion discussions?"
This will either come in the form of buying the I.P. back outright from
Microsoft(
with agreements in place that MS will still have HALO games for their console/PC platforms day and date with future releases) or a "partial sale/co-ownership of
the I.P" where
Bungie will make the Halo series available to other platforms from Sony, Nintendo and Nvidia. My gut instinct is that we'll see a
"co-ownership/partnership" between
Bungie and
Microsoft.
Let's face it,
Halo has floundered under
343 along with
Microsoft's management of the I.P.
Halo needs fresh, experienced developers along with management to help guide it into the future. What better company to do that then the I.P's creator in
Bungie?
P.S. Wouldn't be surprised at all to hear/read about a delay of the single player Halo Infinite Campaign until Summer 2022.
Let me add that Dec Destiny 2 DLC will have Halo content.
