Remember when Joseph Staten, the Halo veteran who switched to 343 Industries in August 2020 to “save” Halo Infinite, left the studio earlier this year to return to Xbox’s publishing division? Turns out he was the one just going to the reception on the way out.
Staten a confirmed that he was now leaving Microsoft altogether. He won’t reveal why just yet, but his statement makes it sound like another game studio has given him something new and better.
Where do you hope and think he’s going, and do you think there’s something more happening at Microsoft with so many prospects and high-level executives leaving Xbox Game Studios?
