News: And a collector's edition detailed.
Microsoft has announced that their real time strategy game set in the Halo universe, Halo Wars, will be released for the Xbox 360 in February 2009. It was hoped that the game would be released in 2008, but with December fast approaching, that just wasn't possible.
Developed by Ensemble Studios, Halo Wars will be released in a regular edition and a Limited Collector's Edition (which will be available for $79.99). The Collector's Edition will include:
Three New Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps Ц Be one of the first to experience the Mythic Map Pack from Bungie which includes three new maps, Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox.
Halo Wars: Genesis Ц A beautiful graphic novel by Phil Noto, Graeme Devine and Eric Nylund chronicling the first military campaign against the Covenant. The novel centers around the Sprit of Fire on a mission to discover why the Covenant are so interested in the world of Harvest
Unique In-game Vehicle Ц "Honor Guard" Wraith
Six Leader Cards Ц Leaders possess elite skills which can turn the tides of battle
Spirit of Fire Patch Ц Start the journey as an official Spirit of Fire crew member
We'll have more soon.
