Halo on Twitter

“Experience the beginning of the Covenant War in Halo Wars: Definitive Edition, coming to Xbox One, Windows 10, and Steam on April 20!

As long as it's not ridiculously priced I'll probably pick this up.

GamingonPC3321d ago (Edited 3321d ago )

Yeah, I purchased the Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition package on the WinStore, but if this release costs $20 or less, I'll pick it up on Steam as well.

mikeslemonade3321d ago

Meaning it probably will be finally free on PC ;)

GamingonPC3321d ago

Free? It won't be free, the developers have announced that it will cost US$ 19.99 (a more than reasonable price, considering the game's quality)

Mr Pumblechook3321d ago

Why release this after Halo Wars 2? A silly business decision.

darthv723321d ago

@chook, probably for those who want to play the first game... not so silly really.

Mr Pumblechook3321d ago

@darthv72 Yes a silly decision! I wanted to play the first Halo Wars as did many others. But sequels normally have superior gameplay and graphics. So for those who have played Halo Wars 2, the first game now seems fairly redundant.

If I was publisher Microsoft I would have released the first game at least six months before Halo Wars 2. The budget price and nostalgia would have made it a very good seller. Those customers would have been more inclined to buy the sequel. This is a sales technique that is tried and tested and it's what almost all publishers do. By releasing Halo Wars 2 first, Microsoft condemned it and its sequel to lacklustre sales.

Nice. Thanks for the info.

TheColbertinator3321d ago

Interesting. K/M runs Halo Wars much better especially since the maps are too large for a controller

Nathan_Hale533321d ago

EVERY RTS plays better on K/M.

TheColbertinator3321d ago

Yes but remember Halo Wars could only be played on controller.

LordJamar3320d ago

played fine for me stop trying to always down play console players be lucky we even like a rts

Vegamyster3321d ago

Interesting that it's going to be on Steam but it's unavailable on the Microsoft store, they should bring Gears of War Remastered/4 to Steam to boost the user base.

GamingonPC3321d ago

It's coming to the Windows Store as a separate download too, but it won't be compatible with the Steam version.

morventhus3321d ago

It won't boost playerbase. Win 10 playerbase and steam player base will be separated

Vegamyster3321d ago

Wasn't that just for Call Of Duty or something?

morventhus3321d ago

@VEGA no sadly on steam page it says that it won't be compatable

Liqu1d3320d ago (Edited 3320d ago )

Really? I thought MS were open to cross-play, COD not having it was understandable but why wouldn't Halo Wars have it?
