Microsoft have finally announced the existence of Halo Wars 2 which is being developed by Creative Assembly. Due for release next year it’s coming out for both Xbox One and PC.

The first game was notable for making an RTS work on console, using a slick control system. The pay-off was fairly shallow strategy, but nevertheless it was fun and fast-paced, garnering plenty of fans along the way. To be honest, I wasn’t really one of them. I enjoyed the game, but it faded from memory pretty quickly. Still, I welcome a sequel.
