When Microsoft bought Bungie they also bought Halo, and so when Bungie split from Microsoft they no longer had the rights to make the games. But Microsoft still wanted Halo games so they had Bungie make Halo 3, ODST and Reach, this is also the reason why Ensemble Studios was allowed to make Halo Wars, Microsoft 'chose' them to make a Halo game. Now Bungie are done with Halo and are working on a new IP for Activision, but again, Microsoft still wants more Halo games, so they created 343 Industries to hold the responsibility of future Halo projects.

So Bungie could concentrate on a new multi-platform IP (Intellectual Property) in cooperation with Activision Blizzard (the companies that created several past Star Trek games like Elite Force and Armada; and Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft franchises, respectivily of course). Halo will passed over to 343 Industries, an internal studio of Microsoft, as Halo is a Microsoft IP, owned by the big M, but this does not mean that Bungie wouldn't collaborate with Microsoft on future Halo titles. It's just that Reach is the last one Bungie are doing for the forseeable future.

Bungie and Microsoft had a ten year deal in 2000. Ten years is up, they lost the right to halo but gained the right to explore other consoles other then xbox.

Because bungie said they have done 10 years of halo. They also said it has been a good run. so i think they might make a new marathon series or a new myth.

But Microsoft might ask another company to make another halo im not sure.

Bunjie has already given up the Halo franchise to another company so i guess the answer you are asking for is yes.

Yes it is Bungie is currently making it.


There no halo 4?

They are making halo 4 right now as we speak because Bungie had a contract with 343 industries but Bungie quit it and sold all their halo's to 343 Industries therefore 343 Industries now owns all the Halo's and their making the future Halo's


Is it true that Bungie is making a halo reach 2?

No, Bungie is no longer working on halo games from what I believe, and by the way Halo reach is a prequel, not its own series, therefore it already has a sequel, Combat Evolved, the first Halo game, which is being remade by Bungie :)


Why is bungie leaving halo?

Bungie no longer has the rights to distribute any halo games. Now 343 Studios will be making the halos, which is unfortunate because Bungie has been known for successful video games. But 343 Studios also has some Bungie Senior Staff to help make the next halo. But Bungie just does not want to keep making halo for money. Microsoft is the culprit here. Bungie makes it for people to enjoy and remember the halo series. So Now Bungie has nothing to do with halo anymore as of now. So all the games halo reach and before are in the past. The new games may or may not be the same.
