Halo Infinite senior multiplayer designer Patrick Wren has left 343 Industries to join Respawn Entertainment to work on a Star Wars game.

Wren announced on Twitter that he has joined the "Jedi team" as a senior encounter designer at Respawn on an unannounced project. Wren worked on the Star Wars universe before, having spent time working on Star Wars: First Assault in 2012-2013. The game was canceled as part of Disney's buyout of the Star Wars brand from George Lucas.

Wren moved to 343 Industries in 2013 where he worked on Halo 5: Guardians and Halo Infinite most recently. His decision to leave the studio just before Halo Infinite launches does not signal anything negative about the game. It is common for there to be turnover when projects wrap up.
