Support NeoGAF

[Bernoulli]

Speaking on the XboxEra podcast, reliable insider Shpeshal_Nick said the game, codenamed Project Tatanka, had seemingly been cancelled.

While officially unannounced by Microsoft itself, Certain Affinity had discussed the project publicly in broad terms several times, and said in late 2022 that it had been in the works for more than two years, with nearly 100 people then working on it.

Halo battle royale reportedly cancelled after years of work

This information is old, Taanaka evolved into it's own thing

Slow news day, huh

 

[DR3AM]

Fuck

 

[Fake]

The year of GaaS death.

"reliable insider"

No.

 

[dottme]

The GaaS cycle remind me the MMORPG cycle after WoW where every publisher tried to get their own WoW success. Most of them died.

Unless i didn't get it, he's saying that this "thing" has been cancelled.

Nick Shepshal doesn't seem reliable at all, but it's a shame if true.

 

[clarky]

Yeah this is old news. As far as i was aware it had evolved into its own thing is still under active dev using unreal.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Halo use to be so profitable.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

I hope Certain Affinity is working on a Halo Battlefront style game. Halo has a universe that could support it.

 

[simpatico]

A 30 man indie studio could do better with the Halo IP. CMV

"reliable insider Shpeshal_Nick said...."

 

[Mister Wolf]

Good. The new regime is throwing all of the mediocre shit away. Get cracking on making single player content.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Down with farty gaas!

They were like 2 to 3 years too late for a br.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Makes sense. It took too long and now BR is not a popular genre anymore where any new entrant can gain traction. Only the established powerhouses - PUBG, Fortnite and Warzone - are reigning supreme.

Naraka Bladepoint and Fall Guys are doing great. Plus there's a bunch of BR games on mobile that are really profitable as well.

Need to see a few more flops before you can reliably call the genre over with.

 

[Bartski]

Another gaas down the shitter? Shocking

 

[Tsaki]

"reliable insider Shpeshal_Nick" Yeah ok.

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

They waste money on things nobody asked then they say to us "we have to increase games prices because of production cost"

Reliable insider:

This should be the defacto first post in any thread made on this 'reliable' insiders news.

 

[Phase]

Halo and BF are so similar. They alienated their core audience and have been floundering ever since. Bring them back to the core of what made them successful and they'd do alright. Not like before, but successful no doubt.

God I hope so.
