Halo Studios (formerly 343 Industries) is an American video game developer based in Redmond, Washington, part of Xbox Game Studios. Headed by Pierre Hintze, the studio is responsible for the Halo science fiction franchise, and develops Halo projects themselves and in collaboration with other studios. Originally named after the Halo character 343 Guilty Spark, the studio was created in 2007 to oversee the franchise after original Halo developer Bungie regained its independence from Microsoft.
After co-developing downloadable content for Halo: Reach, Bungie's final Halo game, 343 Industries released Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 4, the latter starting the studio's "Reclaimer Saga" of the mainline games.
