If you’ve been holding your breath for more Halo Wars 2 in the near future, you might want to give up the ghost. It looks like Microsoft has no future plans to revive Halo Wars 2 by way of sequels, new content, or DLC.
In a lengthy statement posted to Halo Waypoint, 343 Industries made it very clear that it has no plans to make any kind of additional content in the future for now.
Unfortunately, it looks like this is probably the final word on the matter for the time being. If you were hoping to see something in the near future from Halo Wars, you might be better served just going back and playing the old games, unfortunately.
Yes, we did use the word “currently” because it’s the truth – as of today, there is no plan for the development team to re-engage with Halo Wars 2 and we aren’t working on a new game in the series at this time. But, we’re specifically never going to say never because, well, who knows what the future may bring."
We previously reviewed Halo Wars 2 when it debuted, and we awarded it a 7.5, praising its strong core gameplay and outstanding visuals.
Perhaps at some point this is a franchise we’ll hear from again. Right now, the future isn’t so bright, sadly. It’s a shame, as this is an exciting series with plenty of lore to back it.
