Jerry Hook, Halo Infinite’s head of design, has announced his departure from 343 Industries.
“Today marks my last day at 343i, Microsoft and Halo,” Hook wrote in a statement shared on Twitter. “This journey has been filled with creating new worlds, platforms and products from Xbox, Xbox Live to Halo. Most of all it has been working alongside some of the most passionate and driven people in the industry, that have impacted millions of players around the world.”
“Thank you to all that have let me run alongside you in this amazing industry,” Hook continued. “And thank you to this community.”
Hook, who describes himself as an “Xbox Live founding veteran” in his Twitter bio, started his career at Microsoft back in 2003, where he served as lead program manager for commerce and accounts on Xbox Live. He would later take on an executive producer role, with credits on numerous 343-Industries-developed Halo titles including Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians.
