Gaming website IGN.com got a chance to talk to Bungie Studio's Lars Bakken (multiplayer designer), who to the shock of millions of Master Chief fanboys, confirmed that the upcoming FPS Halo: Reach will be Bungie's final Halo game. Check out what he said below:
"After Reach that's it for us," Bungie's Lars Bakken told IGN. "We're already working on a new IP that we can't talk about yet, I don't know when we'll be talking about it - when we're ready I suppose."
Whether or not the small studio will actually turn away millions of dollars from Microsoft is yet to be seen, we have heard statements like this before in the past and they never seem to hold water. Microsoft could also take the Halo franchise to another developer and just go about making millions that way; one thing is for sure - this is not the last we will see of Master Chief and the Halo video game series. We also got an update on Halo: Chronicles, the past-rumored Peter Jackson video game project. The director of King Kong and the Lord of the Ring trilogy confirmed to Joystiq that we won't ever get to play that game.
"That Halo project is no longer happening," said Jackson. "It sort of collapsed when the movie didn't end up happening."
