Joseph Staten, known for his work on several games in the Halo franchise, including as creative director on Halo Infinite, has left Microsoft.
In a note on Twitter, the former director of Xbox Game Studios confirms his departure from the company he worked for 9 years, consolidating success as a creative director in his career.
The company confirmed the departure and thanked him for his contributions to the Halo franchise and Xbox as a whole. It was not revealed where Staten will go next or the reasons for the departure. But a talented person like him won't be without a future project soon.
Staten originally served as a cutscene director on the first three games in the Halo franchise, and later worked on Destiny development at Bungie before joining Microsoft.
He then led development on Halo Infinite at 343 Industries, but left the company earlier this year to work as part of Xbox Publishing before leaving for good.

Hey folks, I am indeed leaving Microsoft. I'll have more info to share soon, but for now, I'd just like to thank all my @Xbox colleagues for all their understanding and support as I embark on a new adventure. https://t.co/oMR0LXOzZb
