'Halo' developer 343 Industries rebrands itself to Halo Studios

At yesterday's Halo World Championships, developer 343 Industries announced that it was officially changing its name to Halo Studios.

"Respectfully, some components of Slipspace are almost 25 years old,” Halo Studios art director Chris Matthews told Xbox Wire.
