Though it was absent at yesterday’s Microsoft choc-full press conference, Microsoft has taken to Twitter to reveal that a Halo Wars 2 expansion is releasing in the not too distant future, and it’s titled ‘Awakening the Nightmare’.
The infection has spread.

Not only do you assume the role of the Banished in a new campaign, it also reintroduces the much feared and ever divisive infection, the Flood. Let’s hope this means they’re not far from returning to the core games, as they always made for the most interesting and volatile enemies in the series.
Halo Wars 2 is going to be an Xbox One X enhanced title, as evidenced by the 4K trailer, and the expansion releases later this year.
