In news nobody could ever have predicted, Microsoft is apparently planning on grinding out more titles in the Halo, Fable, and Forza franchises in the future.
“You’re going to see us do more with Forza, with Halo, with Fable; all the franchises,” the company’s senior director of PC and mobile gaming, Kevin Unangst, tells Gamasutra.
He’s quick to remind everybody that it’s not all sequels, though. “But we’re also, of course, looking to bring in new IP, looking to bring new things. As a first-party studio, our job is also to experiment, also to lead the way, set the example… things like the integration between Kinect and the phone.”
Asked if he’s keeping secrets about 2011’s rather modest exclusive launch schedule, he says only that, “This is not the sum total. Although I love what we’re doing… there’s games that we’ve already even talked about coming this year. Games like Forza 4, games like Kinect Star Wars that we’re not yet talking about. That, and some other surprises I’m sure you’ll see and hear from us at E3 about.”
