Microsoft Launches Black Tusk Studios to Make "The Next Halo"

In case you haven't heard the news already, Microsoft Games recently reopened its Vancouver studio under the new moniker known as Black Tusk Studios. Staffed with tons of AAA industry veterans, the new outfit certainly has some high hopes for the future, and has been charged with the huge responsibility of creating the Xbox's next big exclusive. According to the team's manager Mike Crump, he believes they are quite up to the task: "[We] are working on Microsoft's next big entertainment franchise. We're not working on an existing franchise, we're looking to build the next Halo ... which is really exciting. We are building something from the ground up."

In general employees at Black Tusk have quite the seasoned vets to make that task happen. Made of largely ex-EA members, many of the coders have had at least twelve years of experience coding in the industry. While many other third-parties have been looking to shut down their Canadian counterparts, could it be Microsoft's own that brings us the next massive craze in gaming?
