Rumored Halo Battle Royale Project Seemingly Canceled

A Halo battle royale game has been rumored for a while, and now it has been seemingly canceled, despite having never been officially revealed.

On the XboxEra podcast, insider Shpeshal_Nick was discussing insider and YouTuber Colt Eastwood's claims that the Halo battle royal game was canceled. Nick and his fellow co-host Jon Clarke say they have independently corroborated those claims.

The rumored game was known as Project Tatanka and it seemed like developer Certain Affinity was handling it. Back in 2022, the studio said that 343 Industries entrusted it with further evolving Halo Infinite. Last year, it was reported that Certain Affinity's game started out as a battle royale but has since shifted "in different directions."

Halo Infinite has had a rocky road since its launch back in 2021, as its split-screen co-op feature was canceled in 2022, and 343 Industries was heavily impacted by Microsoft's layoffs in 2023. While it seems like Halo won't be getting a battle royale mode any time soon, players can still experiencing something similar with Halo Infinite's Last Man Standing mode.
 
Oh no, not the Halo Battle Royale. Whatever will we do without it...

Seriously though, was anyone interested in this? It would have been Halo but as a battle royale and that's not as appealing as that may seems, after all, Halo was always more of a casual social shooter. And also it likely wouldn't have featured forge, the best feature from Halo.
 
Just put Halo in Fortnite like everything else.
 
It should be alluded to here that the early days of Halo Infinite were very successful. The multiplayer mode unexpectedly saw the light of day, instantly attracted millions of players and caused great enthusiasm among Halo fans and veterans of console shooters. It seemed that Call of Duty would finally get some solid competition, and the glory days of Halo would return. Ultimately, interest in the game waned very quickly, the main reason being the lack of engaging content. Even leaving aside the failed monetization and frustrating combat pass progression system, Halo Infinite did not offer even the most basic game modes.
In the eyes of many gamers, battle royale could have been a second chance for this title and an opportunity to reopen to more people, well, but the project stalled.
