"Halo Battle Royale Game Officially Canceled, Reports Confirm"

An unannounced Halo Battle Royale, codenamed Tatanka, has reportedly been cancelled, according to XboxEra co-founder Shpeshal_Nick. The battle royale mode was said to be in development at support studio Certain Affinity, but neither Microsoft nor Halo developer 343 has publicly commented on it. This news comes amidst uncertainty for the Halo franchise following the disappointing performance of Halo Infinite, with Bloomberg reporting that 343 had pivoted to Epic’s Unreal Engine for future games in the series. Certain Affinity is also working on its own original first-person shooter project, codenamed Project Loro.
