Frank O'Connor, Halo's former franchise creative director, has offered Activision advice on how to revive the Halo series now that Activision Blizzard has taken over development with a newly formed "purpose-built team." His top recommendation is to hire developers who were laid off from Bungie and Halo Studios amid recent industry upheaval. O'Connor's comments reflect broader uncertainty and concern among the Halo community about the franchise's future following major layoffs and restructuring within Xbox's studio portfolio, as Activision now takes creative control of one of gaming's most iconic series.
