strategy play with explosive tactical combat in the Halo universe card deck,
along with your faction leader, are your greatest resources as you assemble a
collection of air, ground and infantry units and seek to out-think and
out-maneuver your opponents on the battlefield.

The Halo Wars 2 Blitz Beta will run from 20 January till 30
January, and will take place on the map “Proving Grounds,” offering 1v1, 2v2
and 3v3 gameplay via matchmaking on both Windows 10 PC and Xbox One.
