Bungie may do another Halo “ten years down the line”
Bungie has told Joystiq that while Halo: Reach is its last game in the series for the foreseeable future, it may consider doing another one “down the line”.
“As far as right now, currently, yes. This is our last Halo Bungie game,”lead multiplayer designer Lars Bakken told the site.
“Now in the future, who knows? You can never say never, because things change. maybe ten years down the line we decide to make another Halo game, but for right now, yes. This is it for us.”
Previously, Bungie had said it was too “premature” to say if Reach was its final ever game in the series, with community boss Brian Jarrard saying if it were its last attempt at the series, it’d “better damn well make sure that our last game is the best one ever”.
A whole slew of multiplayer impressions went live today. Get rounded-up here. Ours from a London event earlier this week is here.
Halo: Reach releases this fall for Xbox 360. Multiplayer beta kicks off in ten days on May 3.

Of course they’ll do another. When the money dries up, they’ll go back to MS, who will surely welcome them back with open arms; and who’ll be able to promote the hell out of it.
Or maybe even be if, in the future, the Halo franchise begins to wane, MS can bring back Bungie to the same effect.

“i hope they can do better then Bungie.”
What an incredibly stupid statement.
Bungie have given MS one of the worlds most popular games and hundreds of millions of dollars in profit.

@6 Wrong, wrong.. WRONG! Ka-chin!
It’s Microsoft who have given them the opportunity with mass marketing campaign.

@7
You just said that multi-million advertising campaigns which hinge on behaviourally-conditioning the weak willed are more important than good games.
I’m stunned, tbh.
Bungie will make incredible things regardless of Microsoft, and hopefully I’ll be able to play them. Microsoft will make big, shiny, candy-coloured advertising campaigns that you can drool over. And you’re welcome to them.
