In an interview with CVG Bungie have commented on the recent news that it was working on a new franchise with Activision, leaving Halo in the hands of 343 Industries.
Bungie said:I think it'll feel maybe a little strange, I guess weird's a good word - it's not something we're probably going to lose sleep over or spend a lot of time worrying about.
We're really confident about the ideas we're already working on for our next project and we're going to be doing things that will hopefully help shape the next ten years of gaming. We've got most of the people who helped us do this before back at the helm to do it again.
I do think it'll be strange... not too unlike the first time we all sat down and played Halo Wars and saw someone else's take on the Halo universe, or even watching Halo Legends - that's a piece of Halo media that we had no involvement in.
On one hand it's kind of flattering to see that the universe Bungie created a decade ago is rich enough to be able to still spawn and support these new types of interaction. At a minimum it'll be cool knowing that we started all that - it was our team that made this possible.
