Shane Kim, corporate vice president of Microsoft Game Studios, has revealed that
Lord of the Rings and
Bad Taste director, Peter Jackson’s, upcoming
Halo project will be episodic.
Speaking at the second annual ‘Blogger Breakfast’ at GDC Kim said, "Peter Jackson is developing two episodic series, the first is in the
Halo universe."
The fact that Jackson (and his recently-formed studio
Wingnuts is working on two projects for Microsoft, one being
Halo-based, was revealed
last year at X06. The fact that both projects are to be episodic, however, marks a new direction for both the 360 and console gaming as a whole.
When asked about the mystery project, Kim's lips were firmly sealed, “I may have said too much already” was all he would venture.
At least we have a better idea of what Jackson's doing whilst he gets on with
not making the Halo movie...
