Cancelled Battle Royale Mode Was a 'Game Changer,' Former Dev Reveals

Mike Clopper, a former director at Certain Affinity, claims the scrapped mode could have transformed the Halo franchise.

The cancelled mode, codenamed Tatanka, was in development for Halo Infinite by Certain Affinity, but never officially announced.
Mike Clopper, now at Raven Software, described working on the battle royale mode as a fantastic experience despite its cancellation.
Tatanka was rumored to offer a unique gameplay experience tied to the Halo Infinite narrative, featuring a large map with diverse biomes.
The cancellation reportedly resulted from a strategic shift towards new Halo projects, as the franchise moves to Unreal Engine 5.
343 Industries has been rebranded to Halo Studios, with multiple new Halo games currently in development using the new engine.
