It hasn’t been easy for 343 Studios lately, they were one of several studios under Microsoft that were hit by layoffs earlier this year and it was recently confirmed that Joseph Staten, who was the creative director of Halo Infinite, was leaving Microsoft. Now it seems that another big name associated with Halo has left the company.
Frank O’Connor has been working with Halo to some degree since 2004 and began his career with Halo 2 and has been a key figure in the development of the game series ever since. Through its recently updated Linkedin profile can be seen that he left microsoft this month. Neither 343 Studios, Microsoft nor O’Connor himself has yet commented on the matter.
What do you think this means for the future of Halo if true?
