Halo Studios is facing layoffs once again
, by Thibaut
Just a few days after the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved, Halo Studios is facing layoffs. For now, reports are conflicting. Some mention mass departures, while other sources speak of a more limited wave.
On LinkedIn, several now-former studio members have confirmed their layoffs. This was the case, for example, with Nick Treitman, a producer who had been with the studio for over six years.
"After 6.5 years working on Halo and dodging just as many rounds of layoffs - it has finally caught up to me. I have nothing but love for Halo and the folks at the studio, this is just a tough reality in the gaming industry right now.
I am open to new roles as a Producer/Project Manager working remotely or hybrid in the Seattle area.
During my time, I have had the honor of supporting multiple amazing teams ranging from Art, Networking, Localization, Narrative, and being the Product Owner of Halo Infinites social multiplayer pillar."
It seems Microsoft waited until the launch of the remake of the first Halo to take action. Of course, it remains to be seen just how widespread these departures will be.
