Corporate VP and COO of the Interactive Entertainment Division at Microsoft, Dennis Durkin extolled the virtues of the 343 team that are taking on the series saying: "I feel great about the future of Halo. The team that we built inside 343 industries - a lot of them have been working on Halo at some point throughout their careers and those teams are kind of... as you know, teams are very, very fluid. So if you went and looked at the pedigree of a lot of those people, at some point over the course of the past 10 years, theyve been on Halo products."

He added: "They've also been extensively involved in building many of the map packs in the recent releases, so they've got great experience with that. They've got great experience in working on the new 10-year anniversary title for Combat Evolved and then building out Waypoint. Our [343] team, that's the team that built out Waypoint... And a lot of the same storytellers who are writing the stories are the ones who were writing the stories for those future arcs around that next wave of Halo innovation. So a combination of all those things give me great optimism about the investments were making around that franchise."

Halo Anniversary edition is out on the 15th of November on with Halo 4 due out some time on 2012.
