We’ll have our first look at Halo Wars 2 gameplay at E3 next month.

Halo Wars 2 will be playable at E3 2016

Halo Wars 2, one of the surprise announcements of last year’s E3, will be at the show once again this year. Although last time we were only treated to a CG trailer, this year we’ll get to see actual gameplay.

The news was dropped in the latest weekly update over at Halo Waypoint. Community manager Andy Dudynsky also teased another announcement to be made at the show, but that’s about it.

Halo Wars 2 is developed by Total War studio Creative Assembly, and is due for release sometime this year.
