A job listing on Microsoft’s Career website shows that 343 Industries are exploring “future episodic content” opportunities in the Halo universe.

Halo 4 is our biggest Halo game to date, bringing with it innovative episodic narrative-driven gameplay via Spartan Ops and episodic live-action storytelling via the web series Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.

343 is exploring future episodic storytelling endeavors in the Halo universe.

As you will notice, the blurb specifically notes Spartan Ops, a new co-operative mode added to Halo 4 which was the first episodic content ever seen in Halo, offering new missions and a CG episode weekly. Sadly, this episodic content never made it past Season 1, and with no plans of a Season 2, it left many wondering how the future of the characters would be explored.

Whatever is being planned, we know it will be tied into networking in some way, shape or form. The job description also mentions that those who apply must…

Partner effectively with Halo back-end services peers to ensure service requirements for your features are clearly understood and delivered on schedule.

With the launch of Halo Xbox One (also known as Halo 5) coming sometime in 2014, it doesn’t seem wrong to think that the episodic content possibility could be related to the upcoming game, rather than another web series or possibly the live-action Halo TV series that was announced earlier this year too.
