Halo: Spartan Strike Delayed

By Dread Reaver,

343 Studios has confirmed via Halo Waypoint that their upcoming title Halo: Spartan Strike for Windows 8 and Windows Phone, originally planned for release on December 12th this year, has now been pushed back to a murky "early 2015".

While the developer has expressed their excitement at getting this new touch-screen Halo experience to players as soon as possible, they simply cannot ignore the current matchmaking problems in their other recent Xbox One release Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The issues encountered in that game appear to be requiring all hands on deck to resolve, leaving little resources for other projects such as Spartan Strike. We will bring more news as it becomes available.
