Bungie Breaks Off Into Separate Entity

It’s been quite the week for Halo, and that’s an understatement. In it’s first week, Halo 3 managed to score over $300 million in revenue, which is an apparent record. Now comes news that Bungie has decided to go their own way, as a separate entity. What’s this mean to you? Not much, ultimately, as they have vowed to continue their relationship with Microsoft on future Halo titles. That… is a good thing for everyone involved.

And speaking of Halo, recall that movie that was being developed? It turns out that’s been put on ice as well. It’s a good thing that Halo 3 is kicking ass, else fans would be real upset.

We’ll continue to make Xbox 360 games, and we’ll continue to make amazing games for MGS. In that regard, nothing has changed. All that has changed is that now Bungie Studios is once again, the property of the folks of Bungie Studios. Microsoft is and will continue to be, a brilliant, inventive and creatively collaborative publishing partner.
