Frank O’Connor has been involved in the development of the Halo game series since 2004 and has served as Halo Director ever since.
In this role, he was responsible for the creative direction of the games and had a significant influence on the development of the brand.
In recent years he has also been Franchise Development Director at 343 Industries, the development studio responsible for developing the Halo games since 2011.
Now it is believed that O’Connor has left Microsoft and 343 Industries after around 20 years. The reason for this is an update to his LinkedIn profile, which shows that he will no longer work for Microsoft from the end of April 2023. However, there is no official confirmation from Microsoft or 343 Industries yet.
The possible departure of Frank O’Connor is being followed with excitement by fans and experts, as he is considered one of the key figures in the development of Halo. There is speculation that his departure could have an impact on the future of the brand and that Microsoft and 343 Industries will now be looking for a new Halo director.
