It doesn't say anywhere that singleplayer Halo is dead, Lol. 343 themselves have said that singleplayer Halo isn't dead. Jason only says the focus is on MP for the near future which is a bit of a "no shit" 343 never had expansions planned for Infinite and the only future Halo stories were pitches in Unreal Engine. They aren't going to magic up a single player Halo in a few years, Lol. Especially now that they have to convert everything over to Unreal Engine. And before Pierre, 343 never really bothered with spinoffs much either, so it's too early to say if that will change too. |
It says no Halo singleplayer game or content currently in development. Best case scenario, they build up a new singleplayer team for the sequel to infinite, which will take at least a year from now to do as slow as Xbox is at staffing up studios. Then 4 years of development or more after that point to make the singleplayer and multiplayer content for the sequel to infinite. Meaning next Halo story content from 343 themselves will be in 2028 at the earliest most likely, possibly 2029. That is disastrous in my eyes.
If 343 had been doing their job these past several years from say 2018-2022, if Frank O'Connor was actually good at Halo franchise management, they would at least have 2 story based Halo spinoffs already in development via 2nd party studios which could release between now and 343's earliest possible Halo game with new story content in 2028. Instead they have no story content, 1st or 2nd party, in development currently, meaning the earliest that any studio, 1st or 2nd party, could deliver anything more than a small campaign expansion for Halo Infinite would be 2027 most likely. For a franchise as popular as Halo to have no story content whatsoever in active development is frankly inexcusable in my eyes.
