Within weeks of the release of the new chapter of the franchise, Halo Infinite lead narrative designer Aaron Linde has announced that he will be leaving 343 Industries in 2022.
On December 10th, the Halo Infinite single player campaign was finally made available to everyone (even on Xbox Game Pass) some time after the multiplayer was launched. Despite the various controversies about the missing features at launch, in our opinion 343 Industries has done a great job in re-proposing, in 2021, a chapter that was certainly unfortunate, but which has been able to redeem itself both in its single player and in the multiplayer sector. And today, just over three weeks after the actual launch of the title, Halo Infinite greets its Narrative Designer.
Aaron Linde, Lead Narrative Designer of the game, announced via Twitter his departure from 343 Industries in 2022. In the tweet, which you find below in the middle of the article, Linde does not give a real explanation for her departure, but merely states that she is leaving to chase a new opportunity and that the decision was really difficult.
Halo Infinite will remain one of the goals I am most proud of in my career for the rest of my life. I am really happy to have been able to be a part of it.
Bittersweet news to report: I’m departing 343 Industries to pursue a new opportunity in 2022. It was a terrifically difficult decision; Halo Infinite will remain one of the proudest achievements of my career for the rest of my life. I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.

Linde then continued, in other Twitter posts:
I want to thank my dear colleagues at 343 Industries for building with me the best game I have ever worked on, our incredible voice cast for elevating our work with every single line of dialogue and our gamers for joining. to us in this fantastic adventure. You have made my 2021 a very special year. I melt into talking about real things on this stupid site [Twitter] so I’m going to finish it here. I will never cease to emphasize, however, how grateful I am for this adventure and how grateful I always will be. See you at the next mission.
