Microsoft is shaking up its first-party gaming empire in a massive way, reportedly handing stewardship of its flagship Halo franchise over to Activision to leverage the annualized production engine and billion-dollar blueprint behind Call of Duty. Meanwhile, former Halo creator Bungie addresses community concerns head-on after its PvP extraction shooter Marathon fell short of player expectations following the wind-down of active development on Destiny 2.
