Ahead of the games launch later this month, Xbox has released the launch trailer for Halo Wars 2, created by the visual masters at Blur Studios



In case you haven’t been following Halo Wars 2, here’s a quick refresher. After experiencing a pyrrhic victory following the events of the first Halo Wars, Captain Cutter and the brave crew of the UNSC Spirit of Fire wake up after 28 years of cryosleep to discover themselves orbiting a familiar Forerunner construct; Halo 3 fans, they might know what it is. After receiving a distress signal and sending down some Spartans to investigate, the crew meets Atriox – an incredibly dangerous Brute who is as intelligent as he is strong. He poses a grave threat to humanity, and it’s up to you to stop him and his Banished.

With a single player campaign, multiplayer modes and a blitz mode, there is going to be something for all here, so look for it when Halo Wars 2 hits Xbox One and Windows 10 on February 21st.
