Yesterday’s Bungie Day festivities are over, and with that, Bungie is essentially done with Halo. After playing Halo: Reach all day and rewarding players with steaks, Bungie has offered up some final thoughts today on the Halo series, which it is leaving behind to work on a new franchise for Activision.
“Thank you for making our 20th Anniversary, and this year’s Bungie Day, kick so much ass,” the post reads. “As we prepare to become fans of the universe our studio began creating more than ten years ago, it’s nice to know that we’ll be counted among such esteemed company. Some might consider the upcoming transition a bittersweet occasion punctuated by a sense of loss and sadness. We feel otherwise. Halo is in great hands… yours.”
Development of the Halo franchise has shifted from Bungie to 343 Industries. Halo 4 was announced at E3 last month as the start of a new trilogy. 343i is also bringing out Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on November 15.
