Halo Wars ... Halo Chronicles ... you thought Microsoft was going to be stopping there, eh? No chance.
A reliable source has told Destructoid that Microsoft Game Studios is actively looking to build a team to "help develop a new game in the Halo universe," referring to the project as a "new experience." More specifically, the information suggests that Microsoft is currently preparing to create a new internal Halo-centric studio to develop the title. This, of course, would indicate that the studio that gave birth to the franchise, Bungie, wouldn't necessarily be directly involved with the new project, if at all.
With Bungie now technically an independent studio and Microsoft controlling the
Halo IP, forming an internal studio to work on the popular franchise does make sense. Time will tell whether or not Microsoft gets the studio off of the ground, and then maybe what "new experience" they have in store for the series.

There's been 3 Halo games with only Halo wars announced so far and already everyone is like, OMG THEY ARE RUNNING INTO THE GROUND, NO MORE HALO MS, NEW STUFF BLABLABLA.
And yet we have other companies who taken their enduring franchises across many generations and everyone is ok with that.
MS is trying to build a studio to focus on these games, Halo is MS's baby, if you truly believe they will let the series be run into ground or start sucking, you are an idiot and deserving of ridicule. Have a little faith, if other companies can do it, MS can.
Oh wait, my bad, Halo post, here I am using sense, give me a second so I can get into the mentality.
Halo? More like Gaylo, shit sux, M$ will destroy their core franchise and its gonna be hilarious.
There we go, I tried to mispell thing but its just not in me.
I love the Halo games, but i couldnt care less about running the franchise into the ground. What i care about is them wasting my time by putting our mediocre (or worse) games, which i fear may happen.
Prove me wrong, MS.
Why do you count the Halo spinoffs but not the Final Fantasy spinoffs?
