It was announced today that Mega-Publisher Activision & Halo Developer Bungie have agreed to a 10-year deal, to which Activision will exclusively publish all Bungie games.
As part of the deal, Bungie will remain it’s own company, and retain any intellectual property. Bungie is currently finishing up Halo: Reach, which, as of right now looks like it will be Bungie’s last work on the Halo franchise.
