The team behind the Total War series (and it’s upcoming fantasy version, Total War: Warhammer) will be diving into the world of Halo. Microsoft announced the sequel to the 2009 strategy game Halo Wars during their Gamescom conference earlier today.
The previous title was done by Ensemble Studios which earned great to mediocre reviews. No gameplay was shown for the upcoming sequel, but an impressive looking cinematic trailer (see above) did set the tone and gave a release window of Fall 2016 for Windows 10 PC and Xbox One.
It’s going to interesting to see how Creative Assembly handles the Halo series, but considering that strategy is part of their forte (along with Survival Horror which they proved with the multi-award winning Alien Isolation,) I think fans of the series will be in for a real treat.
