It's impossible to highlight the importance of Joe Staten to the Halo franchise. While it undoubtedly took thousands upon thousands of developers over the series 20+ year history, his name stands out as a key component to some of the strongest parts of the franchise whether it be story, lore, or multiplayer. This last week, Joe Staten announced he was exiting Microsoft entirely for an entirely new adventure. The news arrived rather swiftly considering it was only in January that Staten had left 343 to move into a new position at Xbox Game Publishing. So, what gives? Is Joe Staten starting up a new studio, changing "teams," or making a return to Bungie? The Dukes dive into the legendary career of Joe and try to map out what is next for him!
