Jason Schreier: Intergalactic did not have the majority of staff until after Last of Us Online was cancelled, and then most people on the studio came over to work on Intergalactic.

Last of Us Online was cancelled around late 2023.

>I think there's a belief out there that The Last of Us Online was just kind of a side project while most people were working on Intergalactic. No, the opposite is true. Intergalactic did not have the majority of staff until after Last of Us Online was cancelled. And then most people on the studio came over to work on Intergalactic. Many people in the studio, I would say the majority of the studio was working on either Last of Us Online or the remasters, the remakes that they were doing throughout the 2020s, which is why we haven't seen a brand new game from them since 2020.

Rebs Gaming: The rumored Halo Multiplayer "Project Ekur" is more like a super big-team-battle idea with some extraction elements rather than a traditional extraction shooter

But he is unsure whether Project Ekur will just be a traditional Halo multiplayer game, a new mode, or a combination of both.
