We all know that 343 Industries is working on the new main chapter of the Halo series, but according to a new career opportunity ad seeking a Online and Connected Experience Engineer, they may also be working on another one.

343 Industries is searching for a rock star engineer to join the team developing a new experience in the Halo universe. Work on one of the most exciting and creative intellectual properties in the industry; we are gathering an incredible team to help drive the future of Halo.

As an online and connected experiences developer, you will collaborate with designers, services developers, and other developers to deliver polished code that powers the online and connected features of the game. You will author design specs, write prototype code, extend existing code, and implement new code. You will fix bugs and solve issues in code and design. You will collaborate to resolve problems with dependent systems.

-Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent
-At least 5 years of professional C++ experience
-Experience with services development (as a consumer of service features from client code)
-Strong communication and problem-solving skills
-Experience shipping a current generation AAA game title

This is disappointing. Considering 343i's skills, I'd rather see something new from them before moving to Halo 5.

Microsoft working on an online Halo game? They're really stepping up the innovation this gen!

A Halo game with online features, you say?

This really could be anything

Well Halo 5 is this year. To be fair they're the Halo team, they take 2/3 years to make, until the team is big enough they can't afford to do new Ip and leave the Halo IP alone for 4 years+

please people read the article before you post. in no way does the job requirements say its for an unannounced game. the say its for the halo franchise, which they are already working on.

It's Halo Wars 2! BELIEVE.

Did you read the article?

"developing a new experience in the Halo universe."

Isn't the team big enough already? 343i created one of the most expensive games to date, and also one of the most beautiful ones.

i would consider Halo 5 to be a new experience, since it isnt even out yet.....
