1 week, 2 days - After a massive shake-up within Xbox, the keys to the Halo franchise have been given to Activision, putting a cloud of uncertainty over the future of the series. In this video, we discuss what this could mean for the iconic sci-fi shooter and how Activision can go about itFor 15 years, Halo Studios struggled to capture the magic of Bungie's success after success with Halo games. We dive into why attempting to replicate the past ended up hurting the franchise, creating a fractured identity across Halo 4, 5, and Infinite. Will Activision turn Halo into a Call of Duty clone packed with aggressive microtransactions and battle passes? Or can they give the franchise the "DOOM" treatment, successfully reinventing the core combat loop for a new generation?

1 week, 5 days - In today's Daily Fix:The dust has barely settled after yesterday's seismic news of another major shake-up at Xbox. Leadership positions at Halo Studios and Gears of War developer The Coalition have taken a hit. Juan Vaca, story director for Gears of War: E-Day has been let go, just under a week before the game was set to launch on early access. And Josh Daniels, Cinematic Director for Halo, was promoted and then laid off in the same week. Layoffs at Halo Studios are not too surprising as Xbox is giving Activision the keys to Halo, but job losses at The Coalition are concerning considering Microsoft has not made any announcements about that studio. And in related news, Xbox is set to debut a new achievement: the mythic achievement, which will be their equivalent to a PlayStation platinum trophy. The sound of the new achievement has already been discovered.

1 week, 6 days - In today's Daily Fix: Microsoft is continuing its great reset of its Xbox division with another massive shake-up. Halo will now be given to Activision, who will develop the next mainline game. Unfortunately that means layoffs for Halo Studios, along with a very likely studio closure for Ninja Theory. The Hellblade developer was set to be sold off, but those deals apparently had fallen through. And The Blood of Dawnwalker is geting a major update next month, and it might remove most—if not all—of the combat.
