Halo developer 343 Industries lost at least 95 people due to Microsoft’s recent layoffs, and the studio is apparently switching from its proprietary Slipspace engine to Epic Games’ widely used Unreal Engine for future games, Bloomberg reports. The future of Halo has been somewhat up in the air since the layoffs announced on January 18th.
For example, the studio was already working with Austin-based Certain Affinity on a battle royale game codenamed Tatanka, but that game “may evolve in different directions,” Bloomberg reports. Tatanka will also apparently be developed on Unreal Engine, while future Halo games “will also explore using” Unreal, Bloomberg says.
