Halo Wars 2 Is Real, Folks

Microsoft has announced Halo Wars 2, a sequel to the popular 2009 series spin-off, which will release in 2016.

After receiving a great deal of interest from fans of the first game, Microsoft set to work on creating Halo Wars 2 – a sequel which was officially revealed earlier today at gamescom 2015.

In-development at Creative Assembly (Alien: Isolation and the Total War series), Halo Wars 2 is expected to release during the Fall 2016 season, exclusively for Xbox One and Windows PC. That should delight many, as folks had been pining for news of a sequel to the well-received 2009 spin-off.

“Halo Wars 2 is an exciting new strategy game packed with fast-paced action, massive battles, and an all-new Halo story,” the game’s blurb states.

There’s little to go on here, but there is a short trailer to watch. It’s fully CG, though, and certainly doesn’t scream strategy, so you can take it or leave it.

Stay tuned for more information pertaining to Halo Wars 2 as it develops.
