After the release of Halo: Campaign Evolved, Halo Studios saw the departure of key staff members and growing uncertainty about the future of the series. Sales of the remake fell short of expectations across all platforms, and further staffing decisions will depend on the project's commercial success.

Nintendo typically celebrates brand anniversaries only when new games are released, and no major Zelda announcements are expected in the near future.
Insiders have reported that Santa Monica Studio, under the direction of Cory Barlog, is working on a full-fledged sequel to God of War, and the announcement of the new game could happen as early as this year.
