Rumours suggest that the once mighty Halo series is set for a complete reboot after Halo Infinite fell far short of expectations.
Halo has been Xbox's crown jewel since the first game launched alongside the original Xbox back in 2001. However, 22 years on, the series doesn’t quite have the same prestige it once held, thanks to underwhelming entries on the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. But this could be set to change, as Microsoft and Halo developer 343 industries are reportedly planning on a complete overhaul of the series.
A report from Bloomberg states that 343 industries is “all but starting from scratch” on the struggling franchise. This news follows last month’s Microsoft layoffs which saw at least 95 people let go from the studio. Rumours initially suggested that 343 would be taken off the Halo franchise, but they were soon quashed, as the developer assured fans that Halo Infinite is "here to stay".
