Halo Wars is a Real-time Strategy announced as an Xbox 360 exclusive. Collaboratively designed by Ensemble Studios and Bungie Studios, the game is set for release on the Xbox 360[1] on Nov 1, 2007[2]. Announced during Microsoft's X06 media briefing on September 27, 2006, details of the game first appeared on 1UP.com.[3] A pre-rendered [4] trailer for the game was shown at X06. [5] The trailer can be downloaded from the official website or from the Xbox 360 Marketplace.
- The Halo Wars official FAQ states that the game will take place prior to the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, allowing the player to control the crew of the awesome ship UNSC Spirit of Fire in the first battles against the Covenant. Bungie Studios has reported that the game is already in playable form, stating that it is "going to be awesome".[6]

Trivia
- Halo Wars may possibly have been first hinted at in the art book that came with the collector's edition of Age of Empires 3. The last page of the art book showed images from five different Age of Empires games, including the three titles that had already been released. Two images represented unreleased games, including a hypothetical Age of Empires 4 (depicting a World War 2 or Vietnam War-era soldier) and Age of Empires 5, depicting a distinctly science-fiction character design. This may have been intended to represent Master Chief from the Halo universe.
