Bungie’s weekly update didn’t just share recent shared news from Destiny 2 but also from the Halo franchise that the studio previously worked on. The developer announced during its “This Week at Bungie” news broadcast that the original Halo website – the same one that contains player files and stats from previous Halo games – will be closing soon. This means that those files and other assets related to players’ previous Halo awards will be removed, but players will have a chance to save whatever they want from the site before that happens.
The latest news about the events within Bungie was shared on Thursday, with Halo discussed amid Destiny 2 talk. Under the “Dust and Echoes” section of the weekly update, Bungie looked back on his history with Halo and the purpose of the old Halo site.
“Almost nine years ago, stats and files from our previous franchise, Halo, were no longer updated on Bungie.net,” said Bungie. “Since then, all the statistics, files and other data are from Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: range have lived in memory at halo.bungie.net. “
Now that Bungie has been out of the Halo game for a while, it’s time for the site to come down, the studio said. The closure of the original Halo site will occur on February 9th, giving players some time to jump in there and save whatever they want from the site, be it stats or favorite screenshots or anything else they want to keep .
“On February 9, the halo.bungie.net website will be permanently taken offline,” said Bungie. “Anyone is welcome to save their statistics and files anyway if they want to save something. Please note that our news articles, forums and groups were imported into the current version of Bungie.net in 2013. “
