Halo: Spartan Assault Comes to Xbox One December 24th

Written by Barry Villatoro

Halo will now be making it’s first appearance in the next-gen, via Halo: Spartan Assault on Xbox One. The 360 version will follow in January.Though this is not your grandad’s Halo, Halo: Spartan Assault is a twin-stick shooter. This version of Halo launched earlier this year on Windows 8 and the Windows 8 phone to mixed reviews ending up with a 71 on Metacritic.

With the launch of H:SA on Xbox One, there is a full 1000 points of achievements available and co-op is also being added. Dan Ayoub, Executive Producer at 343 Industries said in an interview with Xbox Wire,

Co-op will work through Xbox Live and will allow you to play with a friend. We wanted to do something completely new for the game that featured really crazy action against waves of enemies. For this reason, we’re putting you up against the Flood! Players will work together against huge waves of enemies bearing down on them. The mode is heavily focused on teamwork and victory can only be attained by working together. Co-op is a ridiculous amount of fun, and people in early testing have really enjoyed playing it.

Halo: Spartan Assault will be available on December 24th for $14.99. If you purchase the game on Windpows 8 or Windows 8 phone before December 15th, you can get the Xbox One or 360 versions for a discounted price of $4.99
