Halo Infinite is a 2021 first-person shooter game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sixth mainline entry in the Halo series,[1] following Halo 5: Guardians (2015).

The campaign follows the human supersoldier Master Chief and his fight against the enemy Banished on the Forerunner ringworld Zeta Halo, also known as Installation 07. Unlike previous installments in the series, the multiplayer portion of the game is free-to-play.

Infinite was planned for release as a launch game with the Xbox Series X/S on November 10, 2020, but was delayed in August 2020. Following an open beta release of the multiplayer component on November 15, 2021, coinciding with the franchise's 20th anniversary, the campaign was released for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on December 8, 2021. Halo Infinite received generally favorable reviews from critics, with some deeming the game a return to form for the series. Praise was directed towards its visuals, gameplay, open world design, soundtrack, and story.

In a bombshell announcement, Microsoft stated that it will lay off 10,000 people. Halo Infinite's 343 Industries has been impacted, according to reports, and veteran developer Joseph Staten is reportedly exiting to rejoin Xbox Publishing.

Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier broke the news of Staten leaving and noted that 343 Industries was "hit hard" by Microsoft's layoffs. Staten has a storied legacy in the Halo franchise. He helped pen the stories for Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and more. In 2020, 343 Industries announced that Staten was back to help the team "get [Halo Infinite] to the finish line."

Staten's departure from Halo Infinite isn't entirely unexpected. The original 343 Industries blog post announcing Staten's support stated he would help "for a bit," suggesting that Staten's presence on Halo was temporary.

After today's announcement that Microsoft will lay off 10,000 people, details on how internal restructuring will hit its gaming divisions continue to emerge, with Halo Infinite's 343 Industries among the studios impacted.

According to Bloomberg, Joseph Staten, a Halo veteran who began his career with Bungie in 1998, will transition from his Halo Infinite creative director role and rejoin Xbox's publishing division. Staten joined the team at 343 Industries in 2020 as the campaign project lead on Halo Infinite and later saw a title change to Head of Creative.

Bloomberg's report includes an email from 343 Industries head Pierre Hintze, who explained the studio "made the difficult decision to restructure" and that support for Halo Infinite's live service features will continue. Details on Staten's new role and the exact degree of impact at 343 Industries remain unclear for now.
