Staten just recently left Xbox Publishing and Halo's Head of Creative position after work on Halo Infinite.
Amid swirling rumors about the franchise's future, 343 Industries has put out a statement that it will continue to work in the Halo universe.
Microsoft has cut 10,000 jobs, including some at Xbox studios.
French had been working on the franchise since Halo 4 in 2012.
The developers recognize the Plasma Pistol has been underperforming and are buffing it accordingly, along with other weapons like the VK78 Commando.
The update is set to roll out on November 8 and will add highly requested features to the game like campaign co-op, a Forge beta, improved match XP, and more.
With plans to support Halo Infinite for a decade, it seems like we could see 343 move the game from its proprietary Slipspace Engine to UE5 in the near future.
Ross had hoped to stay on through a winter update, but claims a medical issue fast-tracked her departure from 343.
With the release of a new dev update blog and video, 343 has canceled plans to implement local split-screen Campaign co-op in Halo Infinite.
It looks like you'll need to have your partners picked out for Halo Infinite's campaign co-op launch, or use a service like Discord, the dev suggests.
