It’s Official! ‘Halo: Spartan Assault’ is Coming… to Mobile!

Amongst a sea of rumored E3 titles from Microsoft, one of the more curious names seen was Halo: Spartan Assault. With Halo 5 on the way, what could this other game be? A revival of the much acclaimed strategy game Halo Wars perhaps? Well, we got our answer ahead of E3, and it turns out it’s not an Xbox game at all.

Coming to Windows 8 tablets and the Windows Phone 8, Spartan Assault is a top down shooter for touch pads. The trailer shows off an absolutely gorgeous setting with all the vehicles, enemies and fancy explosions gamers have come to expect from Halo by now. How it will tie in to the overall lore of the universe hasn’t been said, but don’t be surprised if the game ties in to the upcoming Halo TV series, and of course, Halo 5 when it’s released.

I was personally hoping for a revival of the strategy spinoff, but hey, I’ll take this instead! Halo fans, keep your eyes peeled in July! Watch the trailer and tell us if you’re planning on taking out hoards of Covenant on your phone.
