Microsoft is not going to let the Halo brand die just because Bungie has jumped ship. The software giant established 343 Industries to handle all things Halo. This includes the extension of the franchise into novels, comic books, and anime. Well now, 343 Industries is looking to fill the gap left by Bungie’s departure.
The studio is on a hiring spree at the moment, having posted 24 jobs in the past three weeks. The positions include a number of senior-level slots, including Lead Environment Artist, Senior Producer, Senior Software Development, Senior Concept Artist and Senior Business Manager. The postings also include some mid-level positions that are key to early development like Systems Designer, Storyboard Artist, and Mission Designer.
The game is obviously still a ways off with this many senior staff still unaccounted for. Until then, player will have to tide themselves over with Bungie’s swan song on the series. Halo: Reach will be shipping on September 14, 2010.
