Halo Wars 2 Release Date Confirmed, 'Goes Gold'
The upcoming real-time strategy sequel Halo Wars 2 has achieved 'Gold status', announces 343 Industries. A Beta goes live on PC and Xbox One this week.
This has confirmed the mid-February release date for the RTS set in the Halo universe. The sequel has been helped out by Total War creator Creative Assembly. Brutal warfare never looked so good and we'll be facing a "terrifying new enemy".
