Almost a month after the release ofHalo Infinite, we learn that its chief narrative designer, Aaron Linde, is leaving 343 Industries “ looking for a new opportunity ».
An announcement made on his personal Twitter account. The man had held this position since 2019, after having been a senior writer for Bungie on Destiny 2 for a few years.
His fight is over
If the lore of Halo Infinite is mainly enriched by the hundred audio logs or the some 15 lines of dialogue of the Pariahs or the Marines on Halo Zeta, it is to Aaron Linde that we owe it. To provide this colossal work, he was at the head of a small team of writers who thus elaborated all the narrative content of the open world.
A way like any other to give food for thought to fans of the universe of the legendary FPS franchise, while the main story of the game has shown itself to be quite poor and cryptic on this point. If according to his confession the Halo Infinite experience was the most beautiful of his entire career, Aaron Linde has chosen to leave 343 Industries for other pastures in 2022.
He continues the announcement of his departure by thanking his colleagues from the Californian studio for offering "the best game on which he could have worked" as well as the voice actors for having given substance to his work in the most beautiful way, and finally the players. and players.
It remains to be seen whether his departure will affect the narrative branch that is so essential to the Halo games, while the end of Infinite left a slight taste of unfinished business, given a visibly hectic development.
