No doubt the name of Marcus Lehto doesn’t mean much to you. However, the man is a veteran of the video game industry with to his credit the co-creation of the game Halo, when the license still belonged to the Bungie studio. It was also in 1997 that Marcus Lehto joined the company as artistic director to set up the first FPS specially adapted for console players. The success was immediate and Halo became a benchmark in the field. After leaving Bungie in 2012 in full production of Destiny, Marcus Lehto launched his own studio, V1 Interactive, with which he will develop the game Disintegration released in June 2020 and which unfortunately did not find its audience despite good ideas (the game received a score of 13/20 in our columns) and cause the closure of his studio in March 2021. Injured but not discouraged, Marcus Lehto found refusal with Electronic Arts which announced the creation of a new studio based on the Seattle side. His primary mission: to achieve an FPS under the leadership of Vince Zampella, another veteran who is no longer presented, having worked on Call of Duty and Titanfall. Hopefully the meeting of these two men can give birth to a major project.
