Marcus Lehto, co-creator of the Halo saga, has joined with Electronic Arts to open a new studio, where he will have the opportunity to develop an FPS game
Marcus Lehto worked on Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3, then created a new studio, V1 Interactive, and produced Disintegration, a new multiplayer shooter title. Unfortunately, this game did not lead him to the expected success, so much so that he had to close shop this year, but not before taking down the game’s servers just five months after launching the title. When Lehto was at Bungie, he had a successful career, but failed to achieve the same once he split from his old team. Despite this, the developer of Halo doesn’t seem to be there given up, demonstrating this by instilling a relationship with Electronic Arts to give rise to a new FPS game.

It is not known what he meant with certainty, but you can try to speculate something from the latest discoveries made through a post on Linkedin, from which a news about its future within the industry has leaked.
