Report: scrapped Halo extraction shooter mixed battle royale and Flood

YouTuber HiddenXperia reports that Halo Studios worked on Project Ekur, a multiplayer game blending battle royale and extraction shooter on Zeta Halo, with Spartan and Brute squads and Flood outbreaks. It evolved from Project Tatanka and was scrapped to focus on Halo: Campaign Evolved before mass layoffs.

• Project Tatanka began as a battle royale across stitched Halo maps
• Project Ekur let players pick Spartan or Brute as the map shrank
• Flood outbreaks served as a narrative bridge to Halo 7
• The project was dropped for Campaign Evolved, then the studio was gutted
