A surprising revaluation during the Xbox Media Briefing here in Los Angeles this morning, Halo Wars 2 is not only coming next year in Feburary, and not only will it be playable on the show floor at E3, but players at home can download the open multiplayer beta RIGHT NOW and play for the rest of the week.
Players can access the beta from the Xbox Store. No Windows Store version is available at the time of this writing but we're hoping that Microsoft has one ready for PC gamers at some point soon.
No other details were released about the beta but if you're interested, feel free to download it and let us know what you think! We will bring you all of the latest Halo Wars 2 coverage from the show floor later this week. Check out the trailer below to see it for yourself!
