‘Halo’ producer defends Cortana redesign

Halo is premiering March 24 on Paramount Plus, has received mixed reviews so far, been criticized for its human changes to Cortana’s look, and now show producer Kiki Wolfkill is dismissing criticisms, because Cortana has always changed.

“It’s so funny because we change her design for every game. A lot of that is driven by technology. A lot of the design changes as we progressed through the game generations was because we had access to better graphics, technology, more pixels and more effects. So, it’s always been about adapting Cortana to the environment. In this situation, it’s so very different from the games in that she has to feel real. By that, I don’t mean feel like a real human. She has to feel like a real AI, a real hologram and be a character that real people are acting against … that was really the impetus in designing her. How do we make her feel tangible?”
