The theme of the new DLC is all about the Flood and the Banished, and as such, the upcoming expansion will introduce two new Banished leaders as well as two new standard multiplayer maps, the latter of which will be free for all players. Check out the video below for more about the upcoming DLC: This campaign will have gorgeous cinematics done by Blur Studio, the same people behind the amazing cutscenes of Halo 2: Anniversary while the expansion itself is done by Creative Assembly, who were rumored to be working on a Flood-focused Halo game called Gravemind earlier this year. The new campaign will expand upon the story of the main game, allowing players to battle from the perspective of the Banished as they struggle to fight against the infamous and terrifying Flood.
The expansion sees the return of the Flood in a new brutal campaign as well as introduces new multiplayer leaders, a new cooperative experience, and more. Today, during the Xbox Daily Show, a new DLC was revealed to be on the way for Halo Wars 2 called Awakening the Nightmare. While it may have been disappointing that the next big Halo game didn’t make it into E3 this year, the franchise did see a little love.
