Microsoft: No PC Halo Wars

MCV Staff 1st February 2008 Business News

Following a spate of under-your-breath internet rumours that upcoming RTS Halo Wars is bound for PC as well as Xbox 360, Microsoft has rubbished the talk.

Speaking to IGN, a spokesperson stated: "Halo Wars is being developed from the bottom up for the Xbox 360 and its control scheme to ensure that we deliver a groundbreaking console RTS experience.

"Given that, we have no plans to develop Halo Wars for Windows Vista at this time."

Halo Wars is being worked on by Age of Empires developer Ensemble Studios – under the steady eyes of Halo-owning Bungie.
