Microsoft and Halo developer 343 Industries have been waiting for years to find the right partner to collaborate with on the next Halo Wars game, and Creative Assembly – the SEGA-owned developer behind the popular Total War series and the award-winning Alien: Isolation – is that partner. Check out our debut trailer above, and get ready for Halo Wars 2!
Halo Wars 2 is an exciting new strategy game filled with fast-paced action, massive battles, and an all-new Halo story, launching simultaneously on Xbox One and Windows 10 in fall 2016. It will continue the series’ legacy of redefining the real-time strategy genre on consoles, while debuting on Windows 10 for the first time.
Halo Wars 2 will feature a robust, story-driven campaign and plenty of multiplayer action. While we’re not talking about the game’s story (or where it takes place in the Halo timeline) just yet, we are very excited about the way it contributes to the expanding Halo universe, and we look forward to sharing more in the future.
Creative Assembly has a wealth of experience in creating high-quality real-time strategy games, making them the ideal partner to develop Halo Wars 2. We are thrilled to be working with Creative Assembly, and can’t wait for our fans to see the studio’s unique and exciting contribution to the Halo universe with Halo Wars 2.

Fantastic news. One of the main reasons I bought an Xbox One over a PS4 so 'bout time it has been made official. Personally hoping they stick to the RTS-Lite approach that made the original Halo Wars such a hit.

I thought the first game was the best attempt yet at an RTS on console so I'm over the moon that they're trying again.

Utter scenes on the Giantbomb livestream when someone suggested Halo Wars 2 as a laugh and then it actually happened.

Played the gooseberry fool out of Halo Wars, really happy this is on the way!
It's releasing around the same time as the Halo ground combat tabletop miniatures game, I'll be all over both:

I think its a given that they'll make Halo Wars available on XBone now. I wonder if they will just go the BC route or make it an add on for the master chief collection

BC route. It's not really the same game as the others, if you use that logic then the recent top down halo's would be added to MCC, Reach should get same treatment ODST and Halo 3 did tho.

I'm interested in seeing how they take advantage of the rumoured new hardware with this.

Any chance of cross platform multiplayer?

I would say cross platform is a given considering the PC push Microsoft have been on. They'll show of HW2 at E3 and they will announce the first HW is BC on XBO right after the show, really enjoyed what I played of the original before

It'll more than likely be UWA so will scale across XB1, Scorpio & various PCs.

Was hoping we'd get a beta announced at E3 for some games so very pleased one's leaked already.
