Finally, an official date is set for Microsoft‘s much-awaited action-based strat game, Halo Wars. Set to release on the first couple of months of 2009, we now have something more specific to mark red on our our calendars. Sit up and pay attention, then.

For North America, the game will be landing on March 3rd, while Japan and the Asian Pacific regions will be getting it a week earlier, particularly on February 26th. Meanwhile, Europe will be getting it on February 27th. All in 2009, don’t forget.

Now that you’re sure of the date, why don’t you go get those pre-orders now? In case you didn’t know, pre-ordering won’t only secure a copy for you once the game releases, but it will also give you a special in-game “Honor Guard” Wraith, a graphic novel, six Leader cards and a “Spirit of Fire” patch. Surely you wouldn’t want to miss out on this offer. Oh, and there’s also the early access to Bungie’s Mythic map pack for Halo 3 to boot.

So there. The Limited Collector’s Edition will be available of US#$ 79.99, while standard edition is for US$ 59.99.
