Windows Phone 8 and PC to Get their First Halo Game- Spartan Assault

Microsoft have finally realized what an important asset the Halo franchise is to the rest of the market besides Xbox. Announced today, Halo: Spartan Assault is the first title of the franchise to land on Windows 8, RT or WP8 (the last Halo title to land on a PC was Halo 2).

The game is developed by the same people who made the console version (343 industries) and according to the folks over at Polygon it’s pretty amazing, check out a gameplay trailer below:

Spartan Assault should land on your device in June priced at $6.99; the game will also take advantage of the play, pause, resume features between Windows Phone and the PC, allowing you to pick up and continue the game between the two.

I know plenty of people who have purchased the Xbox for the sole purpose of playing Halo, any chance this’ll convert some of those die hard fans to Windows Phone?
