Jerry Hook is no longer Head of Design for Halo Infinite.
In less than a year, American studio Microsoft 343 Industries has seen its development team weaken after the departures of Andrew Witts, head of multiplayer for Halo Infinite, and Aaron Linde, head of narrative design. One is now at Epic Games and the other has joined Riot Games. However, the internal bleeding is not going to stop, as Jerry Hook, the design manager, also decided to go on a new adventure: “The next saga is coming soon. ”
The only thing we take forward with us is the relationships we choose to keep. Thank you 343i for all I had the pleasure to work and fight for Halo. #HaloInfinite pic.twitter.com/2MuxdKvtzu
