Who owns Halo Rights?
The series launched in 2001 with the first-person shooter video game Halo: Combat Evolved and its tie-in novel, The Fall of Reach. The latest main game, Halo Infinite, was released in 2021. While Bungie remained involved in the Halo series by developing games such as ODST and Reach, the rights to Halo remained with Microsoft. To oversee everything Halo, Microsoft created an internal division, called 343 Industries, to oversee the franchise.
343 had already co-developed the Halo Legends animated series and had overseen the production of Halo: Reach and 2011’s Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary. The next game in the series, Halo 4, was announced at E3 2011 as the first entry in what would be originally known as the “Reclaimer Trilogy.
The game included many staples of previous games, such as new or redesigned weapon types, an improved map-editing tool, and expanded multiplayer options and maps. Halo 4 was released worldwide on November 6, 2012, achieving record sales for the franchise. In a new addition to the series, a story-driven multiplayer campaign entitled Spartan Ops was released over the weeks following Halo 4’s release, telling what happened after the end of the main game.
