Halo: Spartan Assault Releases At 4 pm Pacific Today
Vanguard Games and 343 Industries made an announcement today that is great for those of us who have terrible patience. Halo: Spartan Assault, Microsoft's new top-down arcade shooter for Windows 8 mobile devices, will be launching today at 4 pm Pacific.
The game centers around Halo 4’s Sarah Palmer and the origins of the Spartan Ops program. The story itself slides in between the events of Halo 3 and Halo 4. Players who blow through all 25 missions will be able to gain experience points and unlockable Spartan emblems for their Halo 4 game.
Read our preview of the game for more details. If you have a Windows 8 device, you can go download the game today for only $6.99.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
