Fans of Halo Wars have been patiently awaiting an announcement from 343 industries for quite some time now. Â The original game was a fresh take on the genre for console, being one of the first and only RTS games to have a functional control system that urged fast paced gameplay and pinpoint controls. Â Recently, Fran O’Connor sat down for an interview where he touched on the subject of a Halo Wars 2 game.
O’ Connor, creative director for 343 Industries, called Halo Wars a huge success in the interview. And hinted at the possibility of a Halo Wars 2 in the future. Â Though, he did note that the company is not currently working on a sequel for the 2009 strategy game.
“In that regard it was a huge success but is the will to do a sequel there? Who knows. We could do something that works on Kinect, for example. There’s no will against it but we’re not working on it right now.” Â “We take risks in the universe and we always have done over the last ten years,” he added. “The new novel explores the Forerunner universe which was originally a mystery and it goes deep, it explores it pretty fully.
The problem with Halo Wars, is the fact that the people that made the first game a reality are all gone. Â The team at Ensemble have been disbanded, and Robot Entertainment is currently working on another project: Orcs Must Die
