Brand-new details about the rumored Halo extraction shooter have just appeared online. Known as 'Project Ekur', this Halo extraction shooter would have reportedly featured playable Spartans and Brutes, and would have bridged the gap between Halo Infinite and the next mainline entry in the sci-fi series.

Back in April, it was leaked that Halo's long-rumored battle royale project (known as 'Tatanka') had been canceled in favor of an extraction shooter. Then in July, the same leaker claimed that this extraction shooter had also been canceled. According to the leaker (Rebs Gaming), Halo's Project Ekur extraction shooter was ultimately canceled due to mismanagement on the part of Halo Studios head Pierre Hintze, who allegedly caused studio-wide confusion by changing the direction of Project Ekur repeatedly.

A brand-new Halo prequel is officially confirmed to drop later this month, surprising fans.

A few days ago, well-known Halo YouTuber HiddenXperia released a video revealing some brand-new details about both Project Tatanka and Project Ekur, obtained from anonymous sources close to their development. HiddenXperia starts by giving an overview of Project Tatanka, stating that it was set to be a conventional Halo battle royale game with an overworld built from classic Halo multiplayer maps like Lockout, Ascension, Sanctuary, and Blood Gulch. Players would have to scavenge weapons and upgrade them via workbenches, while Pelicans would drop vehicles later on in a match.

According to HiddenXperia's sources, Project Tatanka was then canceled, and its bones were used to form Project Ekur, an extraction shooter where players would suit up as either a UNSC Spartan or Banished Brute.
