Halo Wars 2 is a real-time strategy game set in the Halo universe. It was developed by Creative Assembly and 343 Industries, published by Microsoft Studios, and released on February 21, 2017 for Windows 10 PC and Xbox One.
You command the crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire, who wake after decades in cryosleep to face the Banished, a brutal faction led by the Brute warlord Atriox. The story campaign spans twelve missions and can be played solo or in co-op, and it continues the story of the original Halo Wars.
Gameplay follows classic RTS structure: build bases, gather resources, train infantry, vehicles, and aircraft, and use leader powers to turn battles. Each leader has unique abilities that change how you approach a match.
Blitz Firefight lets you face waves of AI enemies alone or with a partner. Blitz mode replaces base building with a deck of unit cards, mixing strategy with fast, card-driven combat. Online multiplayer supports up to six players across modes such as Skirmish, Deathmatch, Stronghold, and Domination, and cross-play links PC and Xbox.
Halo Wars 2 suits Halo fans who want a different view of the series, and strategy players looking for an accessible RTS that also works well with a controller.
