The studio is actively seeking a Principal Software Engineering Manager to join their team, tasked with leading a group of 5 to 10 engineers to create the upcoming games and experiences in the acclaimed Halo universe. This exciting project is still in its early stages, and the new recruit will play a crucial role in ensuring the successful delivery of products, features, and services.
This is not the sole job listing hinting at the development of the next Halo game. Over the past month, two additional listings have surfaced, alluding to the ongoing efforts to bring the next generation of Halo games to life. However, since the project is still in its early phases, fans may have to exercise patience before witnessing the game in action.
In other related news, there has been a surge in players revisiting Call of Duty games from over a decade ago on Xbox, surpassing the combined player base of Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042. This trend seems to have resulted from Activision's efforts to fix matchmaking and server issues for these older games, leading to their increased popularity.
While Microsoft's top 50 most played games on Xbox only include current titles, it's worth noting that neither Halo Infinite nor Battlefield 2042 have made it onto the list. However, an older Call of Duty title, Black Ops III, released in 2015 and almost a decade old, is still present in the top 50, lending credibility to the aforementioned statistics.
