Halo Studios, the rebranded 343 Industries that continues to shepherd Microsoft's flagship FPS series into the future, has been in the spotlight a lot this month — and not for good reasons. A few weeks ago, former art director Glenn Israel alleged that several "unethical and/or unlawful acts" occurred at the studio during his time there, prompting scrutiny from players and investigators.
Further comments have come from Israel and other developers, and a recent report revealed that a Halo multiplayer project (potentially an extraction shooter) codenamed Project Eker was allegedly in development in 2023, and could eventually come out either as a standalone release or as something tied to the next mainline title. Another report this week brought to light that the 2021 live-service shooter Halo Infinite was going to be a hub for future games.
