UK-industry publication reveals Bungie's immediate plans with an untitled Halo game and an original IP...
In an interview with UK-based Develop, Bungie Studios' Studio Manager Harold Ryan has revealed the outfit's plans for the future, including news of two titled currently in development.
Explaining that two prototypes had already been shelved due to the production of Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, Ryan confirmed that work on a new brand had progressed concurrently with Halo 3. In addition, he announced that the studio was working on a new title set in the Halo world - though it's unclear whether this is the shared project with Peter Jackson's Wingnut Interactive.
"We kept that prototype running throughout the development of Halo 3 and now we have a creative team which feels like they own that. We also have Halo DLC on the way, and a new IP prototype that we are very excited about. Then we have other Halo games that are cranking along also. So the end result so far has been exactly as it should have been - we're happy, excited, and doing our best work on a path that lets us grow."
The interview also sheds further light on the run up to Bungie's newly discovered independence, as Ryan explain: "When it came to the actual conversations about us divesting from Microsoft, certainly there are people in the organisation who were dead set against it because they do see that they had an internal, world-class developer."
