Mythic Arena (in-depth)

Mythic Arena combines the design philosophies and accessible gameplay loop of classic Halo with the quality of life features and some hand selected abilities from modern Halo; challenging the classic vs modern debate. Pairing the expertly crafted levels, the stylized retro aesthetic and fine tuned sandbox settings, Mythic almost feels like an entirely new game, despite being created with the constraints of using only in-game options.

My responsibility was to oversee the holistic vision for the playlist by remotely leading a team of talented community developers from conception to release, ensuring quality and overall cohesiveness across playable and media content. Data showed that more than 9/10 players who entered Mythic Arena came back multiple times during the season, with most returning regularly. This made it our best performing playlist in terms of sustained engagement.
