Microsoft Eyes Call of Duty Developers for New Halo Project

Microsoft's plans for the Halo series have taken an unexpected turn, according to unconfirmed reports. The company allegedly considered collaborating with Activision and Sledgehammer Games to create a multiplayer game in the Halo universe.

The project was reportedly canceled in early July after an early prototype appeared in June. At this stage, developers were testing basic elements, including character movement. However, negotiations between the companies may not have completely ceased, suggesting that Microsoft could still be considering Activision's involvement in future games in the series.

This possible collaboration shows how much Microsoft is changing its approach to developing its main series. The company may be looking to bring in new talent and expertise from other developers to revitalize the franchise.
