Bungie's Last Halo Game Will Be 'Reach'

Bungie's Last Halo Game Will Be 'Reach': News from 1UP.com

Quote:

Halo may yet live on beyond 2010, but it won't be under Bungie. Speaking with Computer and Video Games, senior designer Lars Bakken said that the developer would most likely be finished with the franchise following Halo Reach.
Asked whether or not Reach would be Bungie's last game in the franchise, he said, "In terms of a platform for Halo games made by Bungie, yes. I can't answer that question for Microsoft though."

"Whether they have something in the works or not, I don't know if they're actually ready to talk about it yet, but in terms of Bungie-produced Halo games, Halo ODST and then Reach is probably all you're going to get."

Reach was officially unveiled at E3 2009. With Halo ODST finished, Brakken said that the team is now hard at work on the new project.

Details remain sparse for the moment, but Bungie has hinted that it may be Natal-enabled. Multiplayer invites will also be included with Halo ODST.

After that, Bungie will be moving on to greener pastures. But as Brakken said, that doesn't mean Halo isn't finished. After all, with the Peter Jackson-helmed Halo project now dead in the water, Ryan Payton and 343 Industries now have a lot of extra time on their hands. One way or another, Microsoft will probably keep them busy with Halo-related content over the next few years.

Sad. I'm not sure if the Halo series would really be the same without Bungie.

Where's the "Val sure is awesome" tag? Oh well.

I think a new company working on it would bring an intresting view to the Halo universe.

Personally, I want Marathon remakes.

Marathon was Halo. Y'know, Marathon was special in that everything was the same. If you remade that it would suck. The End.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how many time-warping alternate dimension experiences did Master Chief go on?

That's right. Zero.

1-up Salesman · 07-26-2009, 01:52 PM

oh no.

Metal Man · 07-26-2009, 03:13 PM

OH YES.

Wait, what are we noing/yesing about again?

Personally, I like Halo, but I'm not one of those X-Box fan-boys that only likes shooters and X-Box games and hates the crap out of Nintendo. So as long as the Halo series doesn't end up becoming crappy because it's made by other companies, I really don't mind Reach being Bungie's last Halo game.

Mr. Ginger BALLZ · 08-10-2009, 11:24 AM

Yes, I hope they are a good company and dont F**k anything up. like showing mastercheifs face. Because if his face has been under that helmet this long with out being lifted then his face must be a non pretty site.

My Face when i see his face=

What are they reaching?

IF WE GO BY THE BOOKS (which are canon) we do know what Chief looks like. He's red haired and white skinned, probably really white skin due to being in his helmet all the time. But anyways, I don't think the Halo franchise can survive without Bungie. I mean, their dedication to their community was the key factor in Halo's success. I don't think that any other company is that dedicated to hearing what their fans had to say and tweaking things for them. Anyways, I'm really excited for Reach to release. I mean, the Fall of Reach was one of the crucial points in the Human-Covenant war, and yet it's the one we know next to nothing about. The book mentions it. Halo 1 is about a cruiser that fled from the Fall of Reach. But we know nothing about it. So here's hoping that Bungie knocks one out of the park and gives us one last amazing Halo game.
