Gameloft's N.O.V.A. Receives An Official Release Date

Gameloft has finally decided to stop teasing us FPS-craving iPhone and iPod touch gamers by giving N.O.V.A. an official release date, which they chose to reveal via a brand new gameplay trailer.  So without further ado, N.O.V.A. will be hitting the App Store on... December 17th!  Yes, you read that correctly, only two days from now.

Below is the official synopsis and game details for N.O.V.A.:

With Earth no longer able to sustain life, huge artificial satellites called =near-orbitals were constructed for people to live on. To protect themselves, the near-orbitals banded together to form N.O.V.A., the Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance. Against his will, retired marine hero Kal Wardin is forcefully returned to active duty to prevent mankind's annihilation. Plunge into an unparalleled gaming experience on iPhone & iPod touch! » An epic single-player campaign with 13 levels set in the jungle, snow, spaceship, bunker and an alien city » 2~4 players in Local & Online Multiplayer Deathmatch over Wi-Fi (2 players via Bluetooth connection) in 5 maps » Worldwide leaderboards in the game & on the official website, www.near-orbit-vanguard-alliance.com » 6 weapons: Assault rifle, shotgun, sniper rifle, handgun, rocket launcher and plasma gun ? plus grenades & machine gun turrets in certain levels » Full 3D rendered environments enhanced with highly detailed graphics

The only thing that has been left out at this point is a price, so I guess we will just have to wait two more days for that information.  Are all of you ready to play Halo N.O.V.A. on your iPhone or iPod touch?
