Netflix closes AAA internal studio led by Halo creative head Joseph Staten


Netflix has reportedly closed its internal game studio in Southern California, which was poised to release a AAA game.

It boasted staff from other major studios, including longtime Halo creative lead Joseph Staten, Overwatch executive producer Chacko Sonny, and art director Rafael Grassetti from Sony Santa Monica (God of War). The studio closed this month and all three of its big-name hires are no longer at the company, Netflix confirmed to Game File. "In my work life, there's nothing I love more than collaborating with others to build worlds filled with iconic characters, deep mysteries, and endless adventures," he said at the time.
