New Halo Multiplayer Project Reportedly Canceled
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- A new Halo multiplayer game codenamed 'Ekur,' developed by Certain Affinity, has been cancelled, according to reports from Halo YouTuber Rebs Gaming and journalist Jez Corden.
- 'Ekur' evolved from a previous battle royale project called 'Tatanka' and was inspired by large-scale multiplayer modes like Halo 5's Warzone, featuring development in Unreal Engine.
- The cancellation appears linked to development challenges on the single-player game Campaign Evolved, which diverted staff away from the multiplayer project.
- It remains uncertain if 'Ekur' will be revived in the future, especially as Microsoft seeks to revitalize its major franchises, and the cancellation was not related to the recent Xbox leadership changes.
- With Halo Infinite's multiplayer player base dwindling, fans seeking competitive PVP action may face a wait, as Campaign Evolved focuses on single-player and co-op modes.
