Halo is coming to Windows Phone and Windows 8

guardian · Jun 11, 2013

Halo: Spartan Assault has been hinted at for awhile now, but its surprise is that the franchise will not only skip its usual home, the Xbox, but instead be made available exclusively on Windows 8 tablets, PCs and Windows Phone. This marks the first time the game will hit mobile, and the second time it won’t be a first-person shooter.

Developed by Vanguard Games (Gatling Gears, Greed Corp) and 343 Industries, Halo: Spartan Assault is a twin-stick-style, top-down arcade shooter that, over the course of 25 missions, will recreate classic battles fought by the UNSC. The Windows 8 game will be set between the events of Halo 3 and Halo 4, touching on the early days of the Spartan Ops program.

Spartan Assault is a twin-stick style arcade shooter, and judging from its debut trailer, it looks to be much more fast-paced than any previous Halo title. Despite the top-down perspective, it’s clear that developer Vanguard Games worked hard with 343 Industries to implement familiar elements — Halo players will notice that the usual weapons, vehicles and enemies are all present and even the gameplay seems somehow familiar from the new perspective.

Unfortunately :( Halo: Spartan Assault is not a universal app which means that separate purchases are required for the different platforms

That seems great. Is MS giving reasons for users to switch to Windows8? Smart move as more ppl use Windows8 than Xbox owners.
