During his time with 343 Industries, French was a mission designer, worked on Halo’s Forge features, and departed as the Multiplayer Creative Director on Halo Infinite. It is currently unknown what French plans to do going forward as he did not mention in his tweet what his plans are or even if he will stay in game development.

This announcement marks the third departure in a series of very public personnel changes at 343 Industries beginning with Studio head and founder Bonnie Ross leaving the company in September to attend to a family medical issue, followed shortly after by David Berger, a developer on Halo Infinite’s Slipspace Engine.
