The developer of the Halo franchise will be using the new middleware callled Faceware.
Independent since 2007, their next release after Halo Reach might be multi-platform.
Brian Jarrard didn't say “never, not ever” but he did say “for the foreseeable future, Halo Reach is it."
Saddened by the loss, Bungie is nonetheless grateful to its fans for supporting Halo 2.
Bungie's hard at work on Halo: Reach currently, and the developer wants to make sure that they're fully exploiting the hardware.
An expansion pack or a full game? Bungie considers Halo 3: ODST to be the latter, but many reviewers accused it of being the former.
With Bungie's Halo days likely coming to an end, the studio is eagerly looking forward to building a new game universe and is adding to its team now.
Also Frank O'Connor indicates that they have a plan for the franchise "that goes out at least six years."
Michel Bastien, production lead on Halo 2 and 3, will lead the studio as Managing Director. Moonshot will focus on downloadable games.
