Earlier today,MTV Multiplayer’sPatrick Klepek dug up someinteresting Microsoft Game Studios job listingsfor a Creative Director, Producer, and Game Engineers to “help develop a new experience in the Halo universe.” Additionally, the listing for Creative Director specifically mentioned partnering with key Hollywood talent.
It’s easy to connect the dots — surely, the project in question must be the previously announcedHalo: Chroniclesbeing developed alongside film director Peter Jackson. But what about Bungie? Won’t they have some involvement in this project? Why do they need fresh blood? MTV asked Microsoft and a received a surprisingly candid, if not completely expected, response.
“Microsoft Game Studios has been hard at work collaborating with Peter Jackson and Bungie on the development of [the previously announcedHaloproject],” they told Multiplayer. “At this time, it’s necessary to grow the internal team to keep pace with development. Bungie will continue to remain involved in multiple aspects of theHaloUniverse with MGS.”
“Necessary to grow,” eh? What is this game, important or something?
