The aptly named Halo Wars Addict website recently interviewed Ensemble Studios' Graham Somers regarding the company's upcoming RTS title, Halo Wars (you know, the one based on Halo). While the interview covers a broad range of topics, such as how Ensemble plans to please Halo fans and newcomers alike, we quickly zeroed in on the end of the interview. When asked whether Halo Wars would release in 2008 or 2009, Somers responded, "We're going to ship Halo Wars when it's ready." After missing Microsoft's Spring Showcase, we wondered whether or not Halo Wars would make its projected 2008 release. Now you can color us officially worried.
Halo Wars will be shown at E3 this year. Here's hoping someone comes clean on a release date come convention time.
[Thanks, Jon B]

Its been traditionally late June to mid July most years. Though since E3 went small scale they have varied a bit more on their target dates.

What the hell are you on about? Redundant? This could turn out to be an amazingly good RTS for consoles, since it's been built exclusively for it.
Look at Civilization Revolution - it's been built ground up for consoles only and it works FANTASTICALLY. It's so streamlined compared to prior PC Civs that it's amazingly user friendly.
I think this game is going to be the next big step for RTS games on consoles, so I'd hardly call it "redundant"

Even if it's redundant because it's Halo, it's still and RTS built with consoles in mind, which hasn't been done yet, at least not successfully.
