343 Industries has shared new information regarding updates coming soon to Halo 5: Guardians, Halo Wars 2, and even the Masterchief Collection With the Xbox One X (the console formerly known as the Project Scorpio) hitting the shelves in November, both Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2 will be getting 4K updates just in time for the[...]
It won't be soon.
However, one of the absolute best things about Halo is that it isn't confined to one medium, or to one genre – the Halo universe is diverse and wide-ranging, and E3 was a pretty awesome celebration of the next chapter in the Halo Wars 2 experience – a brand new expansion succinctly[...]
Despite not making the cut for Microsoft's E3 briefing, today 343 Industries put out an E3 trailer for Halo Wars 2's upcoming DLC, Awakening the Nightmare And because this is Xbox at E3, the trailer and DLC are available in 4K.
"Xbox One and Windows 10 exclusive The Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare expansion brings a new[...]
If anything, Halo: Combat Evolved would have been a more likely candidate.
With that announcement came the addition that five specific games currently on Xbox One would be getting a free 4K upgrade on the Xbox One X: Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 3, Killer Instinct, Halo Wars 2 and Minecraft In fact, 4K was basically[...]
That doesn't mean we won't see some Halo 6 teases during the Microsoft show, but it's likely that 343 are instead going to focus on DLC for Halo Wars 2.
That, or we're getting a big-budget Halo film Either option would be something we'd expect to see at E3 this year.
"I'll slip into my Dreamcrusher persona for a minute[...]
If you've been sitting there looking at your Xbox One and wondering why you've bought it, well, Halo Wars 2 now has a demo for you Get some use out of that expensive paperweight The demo is also available on PC for Windows, because it's a Microsoft property.
The demo comprises of the game's opening mission which[...]
In a last-minute move 343 Industries has announced that Microsoft will not be launching a physical release for Halo Wars 2 on PC.
In a post on Halo Waypoint, Brian Jarrard, 343's community manager, stated that "retail plans have shifted and Microsoft has made the decision to focus the release of the physical retail version to[...]
Of course, they are just commercials for products, but fun none the less.
The Halo Wars 2 ads are definitely some of the best examples in a while Harken back to 2007 ad campaigns, this is a fun live-action set showing Atriox and Captain James Cutter going at it in rather mundane warfare[...]
Halo Wars 2 has been flying a little under the radar which is a little worrying since the game is just about ready to hit The strategy game is hoping to make somewhat of a splash when it does land though.
To get players jazzed, here is a launch trailer for the game It's focused on the cinematic[...]
For the upcoming launch of Halo Wars 2, 343 Industries partnered with three artists to create a series of limited edition character posters that are absolutely amazing Halo Wars 2 releases on February 21st for Xbox One and PC, but the posters themselves will be available through the Xbox and Halo Twitter channels over the next few weeks[...]
I'm genuinely enthusiastic about what Halo Wars 2 holds It was certainly a weird announcement when it came at last year's Gamescom, but now that it has settled, seeing what The Creative Assembly do with it is a fascinating prospect.
The developer showed off some of the single player campaign during a PAX panel earlier too[...]
Halo Wars 2 had a panel at SDCC today, and I am still surprised when I'm reminded that the game is happening With Xbox One and PC's integration growing ever closer though, it does make total sense.
And not only is it happening but it looks like the Creative Assembly is going all out on story[...]
It was quite odd to see Halo Wars 2 announced at Gamescom last year, but it was also pleasantly surprising.
I wasn't sure we'd see it until that show again, but Microsoft have indeed brought it to E3, as was leaked out yesterday They've shown off this trailer for the game and it looks pretty wild[...]
It's a screenshot from what looks to be the trailer of Halo Wars 2, but there isn't too much more to gawk at here This more or less just confirms the game will be there on Monday, and that Halo Wars looks like Halo.
Take a look
Thanks Wario64!
Some one appears to be pretty embedded into[...]
When it was announced that Total War developer Creative Assembly was working on Halo Wars 2, I was very happy The developer are some of the very best, maybe even the best, at strategy game so bringing them on board for a top down Halo strategy game was inspired.
Don't expect it to have that iconic[...]
In a pretty bizarre move that I don't think anyone was expecting, Microsoft announced at their Gamescom Press conference today that Halo Wars 2 is coming in late 2016 on Xbox One and PC For those of you who don't remember the game, that was the RTS console Halo game I know, like I said,[...]
