Microsoft through its Wire has announced to launch ‘Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare’ to Xbox Play Anywhere title this Fall.
Community Manager at 343 Industries, Brian Jarrard said ‘Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare’ promises to expand on the epic story from the main game, where players will battle through a brand-new series of campaign missions from the perspective of the Banished and experience their desperate struggle against the terrifying Flood.
‘Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare’ is more than just a story expansion though; it is jam-packed with new content that also includes new multiplayer maps (available for all Halo Wars 2 players), gorgeous Blur cinematics, exclusive new multiplayer Leaders and Terminus Firefight, a unique game mode in the expansion set on a dynamic map where players build bases and armies to defend against waves of enemy forces, he said.
“In this tower-defense style firefight mode, you can build various types of walls, mini bases, and turrets to protect your Terminus from every enemy unit imaginable including new mini bosses!” he maintained.
Brian Jarrard said, “‘Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare’ expands upon an already burgeoning Halo Wars 2, where new DLC leaders have been released each month including newcomers Kinsano and Colony, as well as the cigar-chomping legend himself, Sergeant Johnson.”
For June, Microsoft is releasing two new leaders that will be playable at the Xbox E3 booth.
We’ll have more to share in the future but suffice to say, Halo and RTS fans will have a lot to look forward to this year. Stop by the Xbox booth this week if you’re attending E3 to get hands-on with Terminus Firefight and be sure to stay tuned to Halo Waypoint and Xbox Wire for all the latest news with Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare, said the community manager at 343 industries.
