Developer Lead Has Left The Halo Franchise To Go Indie
While it might be an unpopular opinion, I've really, really enjoyed 343 Industries tenure in charge of Halo. The series is on a good path, and while it may not be a juggernaut like it once was, I still believe it has a ton of quality to it.
The franchise has just lost a key voice though as Studio Head Josh Holmes has left the developer to go chase independent development. Halo Waypoint blog announced the departure and announced that Halo 4 and 5's Lead Producer Chris Lee will take over now.
Holmes was Creative Director on Halo 4, and that game holds a place in my heart, so it is sad to see him go. At the same time, there are more than enough talented people still there to keep things going.
