Yes, it is still 343. “Halo Studios” has most of the same people working at it as 343. Literally 343 wearing Mustache Glasses.
They changed their studio name because the 343 reputation was so bad, they needed to try to trick consumers into thinking the next Halo game wasnt made by them to get any sales.
It’s not 343, most of that leadership has left or fired. It’s Halo Studios now, game runs UE for graphics and the Blam! engine underneath for AI and everything else.
People are huffing massive hopium if they think that 343, of all studios, is going to put out an UE5 game that isn’t unoptimized trash.
Edit: doesnt seem to be 343 anymore!
Edit edit: apparently still 343 lol.

I’d rather Blam! be doing both.
