If you like the quirky girlfriend/mom narrative Halo Infinite Spinning around with longtime franchise mascot Master Chief and his AI sidekicks, you might want to keep an eye on where Aaron Lind (one of the game’s main writers) goes next.
Lind, who has earned many high-profile writing credits in his career to date, is credited as the lead narrative designer for Halo Infinite — which boasts what our own Alex considers to be the “ultimate single-player Halo experience.” Activity.
But just as the latest Halo game is starting to really gain momentum after its release in late 2021, Lind announced he’ll be moving on from 343 Industries to “seek new opportunities in 2022.”
“Mixed news: I am leaving 343 Industries to pursue new opportunities in 2022. It was a very difficult decision; Halo Infinite will remain one of the proudest achievements of my career for the rest of my life. I’m so grateful to be involved,” he said in a thread on twitter.
“I would like to thank my dear colleagues at 343 for making the best game I’ve ever been involved in, our incredible voiceover team for elevating our work in every line delivery, and our players for joining us in this Crazy ride. You guys in 2021 are a very special year for me.”
In his resume, Lind noted that he is now a senior narrative writer at Riot R&D — the developer’s secretive development arm dedicated to exploring new genres, gaming experiences and projects. Well.
Linde has mostly worked on shooters before – Battleborn, Gears of War 3 and Halo Infinite are the headliners of his portfolio. So will he do something similar at Riot? It remains to be seen. Don’t expect to hear anything anytime soon, though.
Hopefully Linde won’t be swayed by Riot’s (now infamous) corporate culture that recently led the company to agree to settle a class-action lawsuit against the company for sex discrimination that cost the studio $100 million.
