Halo Wars 2 is coming to Xbox One and Windows 10, Microsoft announced at its Gamescom 2015 briefing today.

Creative Assembly (of Total War and Alien: Isolation) is producing the real-time strategy sequel alongside 343 Industries.

Little concrete information has emerged so far, but a CGI trailer closed out the Microsoft briefing, looking suitably Halo-ish.

Ensemble Studios' original Halo Wars received an 8.0/10 from Gameplanet, with praise given to its console RTS gameplay.

No release date has been set, but Microsoft has staked out a release window of late 2016.
