Halo’s Joseph Staten joins Netflix Games as creative director

Bungie veteran Joseph Staten announced today that he has joined Netflix Games as its creative director, making him the latest of the games industry figures to join the brand. He added that, as creative director, he’s working on “a brand-new AAA multiplatform game and original IP” for the studio.

Staten is one of the major figures at Bungie, having worked as a writer on the first three Halo titles and the original Destiny. He later served as creative director at Xbox Game Studios and joined 343 Industries as head of creative on Halo Infinite. He departed that studio in January and announced a few weeks ago that he was leaving Microsoft entirely.
