Yesterday Microsoft announced that Halo Wars would be hitting retailers in the US a few days earlier than expected on the 28th of February.

However, Microsoft has since released word that there was some confusion at the Microsoft CES presentation and that the release date for the US remains unchanged and that Halo Wars will arrive on shelves across North America on the 3rd of March.

Microsoft confirmed that the demo for the game will still be hitting Xbox Live on the 5th of February.

Halo Wars will be released across Japan and Asia Pacific on the 26th of February while Europe, the Middle East and Africa will get the game on the 27th of February.
