Last time - Halo, but it’s television - https://www.filmtracks.com/scoreboard/forum.cgi?read=143106

-------

What’s next? Who the heck knows? The Halo franchise exists in a weird limbo, even with Microsoft rebranding 343 Industries as Halo Studios in October 2024. The company originally said Halo Infinite could be supported with campaign updates for a decade, but 343 boss Bonnie Ross left the company less than a year after the game’s release and campaign updates were paused soon after, reportedly because the game was missing internal profitability targets and its proprietary gaming engine was difficult to develop on (thought multiplayer updates have continued, including some that just launched this week). Microsoft looks set to announce what the next entry is at its October 2025 e-sports event; whispers of the in-development Halo 7 being a reboot linger throughout the internet.

With regards to the scores, does a potential reboot mean the newly-christened Halo Studios will finally abandon the Bungie musical legacy? Only time will tell. The Halo Infinite score was a step in the right direction, but we can’t forget that the company’s first post-Bungie game originally was set to omit any obvious quotes of legacy themes. It remains to be seen if Microsoft can be trusted as a capable steward of the franchise’s music, a remarkable thing to say since they’ve been in charge of it for longer than Bungie was (1999-2010 vs. 2011-2025). I’m suspicious, but I’ll be happy to be wrong.
