Microsoft has announced the February 2009 release of Halo Wars, the Xbox 360 exclusive real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios.
Halo Wars will put players in command of the battlefield and aims to combine the intensity of Halo with a new story that precedes the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. The game has been designed specifically for the Xbox 360, offering controls tailored for the controller and redesigned resource management and unit command.
Microsoft has also announced that the game will be available in both standard and a Limited Collector’s Edition set.
