Three years after Infinite, 343 Industries has been rather discreet about a Halo 7 which is nevertheless well in development. Here is some very positive news regarding it.
The development of Halo 7 seems to be starting to take off. After an Infinite blowing hot and cold, it could be that its sequel is in good hands and is armed with the right tools to offer Master Chief fans a new adventure that lives up to expectations.
Halo 7 Wakes Up With Encouraging News
Since the franchise started by Bungie, which then went on to Destiny, was entrusted to 343 Industries, the quality of the games has been up and down. The fourth and fifth installments were not received with the same unanimity as Bungie’s titles. Infinite did better because it marked a return to its roots, but was clearly not without its flaws. We hope that the studio will continue on this path of improvement for Halo 7, whatever its final name.
In this sense, Rebs Gaming has however noted some rather encouraging news for the continuation of Master Chief’s fight. 343 Industries has indeed recruited Dan Gniady as the new lead designer for Halo 7. He knows his stuff when it comes to designing FPS, having worked at Bungie for 10 years, notably on Destiny. Most recently, he held this position for Hyenas, the unfortunately cancelled multiplayer FPS from Creative Assembly. After speaking with a lot of cool teams on exciting projects, I get to work with the Master Chief and his friends. I love Halo and I’m very excited to be a part of its legacy. “, we can read on his LinkedIn page.
What’s more, Halo 7 is expected to switch engines to Unreal Engine 5. Remember that Infinite ran on the Slipspace engine, with once again the same mixed results that we know. The same goes for the user interface, while 343 Industries is hiring a designer to make it more visually pleasing and intuitive, where Infinite’s left something to be desired. With a more robust engine, a veteran FPS designer and a better interface, let’s hope that Halo 7 will finally be able to offer a sequel that will please everyone.
