Because of "a family medical issue".
Halo boss Bonnie Ross has today announced that she will depart 343 Industries, the Microsoft first-party studio she founded.
“While I had hoped to stay with Halo until we released the [Infinite] Winter Update, I am letting you know I will be leaving 343 and attending to a family medical issue,” she wrote in a statement on Twitter.
“I am incredibly proud of the work everyone at 343 Industries has done with Halo Infinite, the Master Chief Collection, the Halo television series and so much more. It has been an honor to serve alongside the team for the last 15 years and to be part of a universe that I love,” she continued.
“Thank you to everyone in the Halo community for your support. Halo‘s future is bright. I cannot wait for all of you to experience what we have in store — and to cheer alongside you, as a fan, at the Halo World Championship in October!”
Ross was a General Manager at Microsoft Game Studios before founding 343 Industries in late 2007; the studio took over stewardship from Bungie at that time.
We wish Bonnie the best of luck as she focuses on her family.
