Halo Infinite: The Forge Falcons, known for crafting standout experiences in Halo Infinite‘s Forge mode, have announced they’re leaving the scene.
They cited the lack of meaningful support and visibility from Halo Studios as the driving force behind their decision, which they shared across their social media channels.

As shared in their public statement, the Forge Falcons took a moment to thank fans for their continued support, writing, “please know you are the singular thing that made it worth it during that time, truly.”
Even with a dedicated community behind them, the Forge Falcons stated that the lack of backing and visibility from the publisher significantly influenced their decision to walk away.
Before turning their attention to Fortnite, the Forge Falcons plan to deliver one last update. They also hinted at a possible return to Halo, depending on whether future titles offer enhanced tools and greater support for creators.
Many Games Experienced Similar Departures, Where Loyal Creators Chose to Disengage
Back in early 2024, a respected modding team for Starfield revealed that many of its creators had lost interest due to a range of issues. They made it clear the project would likely shut down without new community members stepping up.
Even the most passionate fans eventually hit a breaking point. While the perfect solution remains elusive, consistent acknowledgment wouldn’t hurt.
