Official: Microsoft and Bungie Split

An official press release has confirmed that Bungie has emerged from puberty and is now leaving the Microsoft nest in order to become a man. As the press release puts it, Bungie is set to”embark on a path to become an independent company.” However, like most parent, child relationships, Bungie will keep in contact. Microsoft’s Shane Kim noted: “While we are supporting Bungie’s desire to return to its independent roots, we will continue to invest in our Halo entertainment property with Bungie and other partners, such as Peter Jackson, on a new interactive series set in the Halo universe.”

So, it appears that as long as MS can still suckle at the Halo teat they will have no trouble getting over the loss.—Sean Fallon
