It's been reported that 343 Industries has another project outside of Infinite in the pipeline, as brought up by Windows Central editor Jez Corden on the latest episode of The Xbox Two podcast this past Friday night.
During the latter part of the show, Corden suggested that the project is supposedly going to be Halo related, but stopped short of providing any further details. Here's how he summed it up:
"Yeah, they are working on another project that isn't Halo Infinite. I know that much."
Earlier this year, 343 denied that it was working on a new Halo Wars game, explaining that "we unfortunately can’t devote the time and attention we’d need to deliver additional updates and content for the Halo Wars franchise."
It's anyone's guess what this separate Halo project might be related to, then. In any case, it's probably a ways off...
What do you think 343 Industries might be working on outside of Halo Infinite? Give your suggestions below.

It could be a spinoff, still based on the halo universe but different hero, different story. Would be cool
Halo Wars is not really my cup of tea. I wish they'd try something new. I'd love a Halo flavoured metroidvania.
I'd love to see a horror Halo game. As a kid, I always thought Halo 3: ODST was scary, at least in the beginning sections where everything was so dark. Imagine seeing them go all the way with that, they have the perfect setting for it after all, i.e. space and aliens.
@Medic_Alert @LtSarge sign me up!
I would hand a Halo horror game to Undead Labs. Let then make a State of Decay 3 DLC where we control ordinary people in a colony on the verge of being overrun by The Flood.
@Medic_Alert Yeah exactly, they could definitely draw some inspiration from Dead Space and Alien Isolation in that regard. And just like @Magabro mentioned, having sections where you're attacked by The Flood would be absolutely terrifying. I mean, they're basically the parasites of Halo that will attack people and turn them into zombies.
I feel like at its core, Halo has always had a horror element to it that just hasn't been fully explored yet.
I’ve no interest in a horror Halo game. Another Halo ODST or Reach style game would be great. I was hoping anything which is a FPS but odd a side story could be included in Infinite though.
I'd like them to surprise us with something totally new and not Halo related personally. Halo Infinite will satisfy my Halo needs for a long time.
@Medic_Alert I came here to say this too.
I've always said that ODST 2 should have been 343i's first project.
I hope it's ODST 2 or another game related to Reach.
I'm thinking of a more tactical military shooter like Arma, Operation Flashpoint, SOCOM and the old Tom Clancy titles where you play as the standard UNSC marines. Maybe it could be 3rd-person.
Next mainline halo will prob be on ID technology...and after the amount of mismanagement going on at 343 I wouldn't be surprised if they get taken off it - unless halo infinite starts winning some awards of Xbox.
I'd personally love to see an RPG set in the halo universe. They have all the best western rpg developers under Xbox now...a halo RPG should be already in discussion.
@LtSarge That's what I want for infinite. An open world where at night the flood come out of the woods. How's that not going to be a thing?
343 is a huge and talented studio. I hope that they've been let lose on a while new franchise of their creation, or maybe a revamp of an old franchise. It's good for them to get away from just being the Halo studio.
A 3rd person RPG or turn based battle system would be cool. Even a metroidvania would be awesome
