What is 343 Industries Unannounced Halo Game? - Episode 85

Join the Bonus Accessory crew every Friday as they dive head first into all things Xbox, Xbox Game Pass, & PC gaming. Through its rollercoaster development, Halo Infinite still remains Microsoft’s headline title for the first year of the Xbox Series X’s life and beyond with its supposed 10 year plan. But it doesn’t sound like that’s the only thing coming from the Halo universe. This week, we examine the new reports surrounding the second Halo project we previously reported on that developer 343 Industries has in the pipeline. Does a new Halo Wars seem to fit the bill, after its rumored existence last year? What does the bandwidth of the franchise look like for the genres it can support given its current state in the zeitgeist of gaming? We dig around and try to make sense of it all. Plus, CD Projekt RED seems to have been the victim of a recent ransomware attack, which saw the selling of some of its franchises’ source codes including the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. What end goal comes with paying the rumored hefty $7 million dollar price tag for source codes of already backed up titles, outside of cheats? Also, Microsoft has announced the creation of a new subsidiary to coincide with their acquisition of ZeniMax & Bethesda, called Vault. What does this mean for the state of the IP and their future, not to mention the ever evolving discourse surrounding their exclusivity? All of this and much more on the newest episode of the Game Pass Gamecast! Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you never miss a show when they drop every Friday morning!
