- 343 Industries' Head of Design Jerry Hook has announced his departure from the studio, Halo, and Microsoft.
- Hook was a key member of the Halo Infinite development team, helping shape the design of many of the game's core systems.
- This news follows the recent departure of Halo Infinite multiplayer lead Andrew Witts, as well as the launch of Halo Infinite Season 2.
Halo Infinite and 343 Industries have seen many significant departures both before and after the game's launch; recently, the game's multiplayer lead Andrew Witts left the studio, and Studio Head Chris Lee, Creative Director Tim Longo, and Lead Producer Mary Olson all parted ways with the developer in the years leading up to Infinite's release. Currently, Joseph Staten leads 343 Industries as the studio's Head of Creative on Halo Infinite. Right now, it's unclear who will replace Hook as the game's Head of Design.
The news comes as Halo Infinite fans continue to voice concerns over poor communication and a general lack of satisfying post-launch content, though the state of Microsoft's flagship Xbox shooter has improved considerably with the content additions and quality-of-life changes introduced with the launch of Halo Infinite Season 2.
Halo Infinite promises fans the most expansive Halo experience to date, featuring a fantastic campaign with a dynamic open world and an excellent story as well as an exciting free-to-play multiplayer with strong core gameplay and plenty of awesome cosmetic unlocks.
