Microsoft und 343i haben vor zwei Tagen bekannt gegeben, den zweiten DLC für Halo Wars 2 veröffentlicht zu haben. Aufgrund einiger Bugs musste die Veröffentlichung vor knapp einer Woche verschoben werden. Damit wird ein neuer Anführer namens Colony hinzugefügt. Den Launch Trailer seht ihr unten.
Damit einher ging auch ein neues Update. Die Patch Notes dazu findet ihr unten. Gleichzeitig wurden auch neue Inhalte für Halo 5: Guardians verfügbar gemacht. Das Update bringt neuen Content für Big Team Battle. Der Assault Modus ist jetzt dafür spielbar und es gibt fünf neue Maps, die von der Community durch das Forge Tool erschaffen wurden.
