Bungie founder and Halo co-creator Alex Seropian believes the franchise is now in very safe hands at 343 Industries, but that doesn’t prevent him being a “little bit” nervous about the highly anticipated first new Halo FPS developed outside of Bungie.
“I’ve been an observer for a while now,” he told GameSpot. “So much has gone on with the franchise. I will say the encouraging thing is that I know a lot of the folks at Microsoft working on it and they are great people. I’m very hopeful that the team there is very fantastic. They are certainly treating it with a lot of care and respect. And applying the resources you’d like to see applied to a franchise like that.
“I’m hopeful that it will continue to bring the high production value and cool experiences it’s known for.”
He continued: “I don’t think I can be anything other than hopeful that it will be great. We’ll see. Halo is one of the crown jewels in the Microsoft gaming IP, if not the crown jewel, so you would expect nothing less than for them to take the time needed and apply the resources needed to make it great.
“I would be pretty surprised if they wiffed it. Maybe it will bring a fresh perspective, and that’s so hard because there’s so many fans that are used to a particular thing that bringing something new is often…it’s hard to bring something new to a franchise that’s so established. I’m looking forward to it.”
Since leaving Bungie Seropian has been involved with Wideload Games, overseen Disney’s gaming division and most recently founded mobile game company Industrial Toys.
