There are so many weird or outright nonsensical claims in this article though... https://twitter.com/SkillUpYT/status/1296091131596300289

"Building a new game for a console that has not been announced is quite the challenge and is often why launch titles are sometimes lacking in the graphics department because they aren’t quite sure where the final specs will land."

This is... not how it works.

Launch titles deal with brand new tech that takes YEARS for studios to harness and improve upon. Halo 3 and Halo 4 released on the 360, using the same (retooled) engine - there is no universe where H3 shipped looking like H4 just because Bungie "knew where the specs would land."

"One insider states that the production of the Halo TV series for ShowTime has been a significant distraction for 343 management. Often times taking their priority instead of focusing on making sure development progress is on the right path to reaching its targeted deadline."

This one has to be made up lol. Just like with Forward Unto Dawn and Nightfall, there is a dedicated franchise team that specifically deals with transmedia.

The people at 343 working on the TV show are not running pipelines for the game.

THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS.

There may well be cause for concern in some areas, but this ain't the story you're looking for. These "anonymous sources" sound like outright fabrications, and the speculation without any actual knowledge or context is just drama-stirring.

UPDATE: A comment from Ske7ch, debunking some of this nonsense.
