Halo Wars 2 is a real time strategy game set in the Halo universe, built by 343i and Creative Assembly. It follows the tale of the UNSC Spirit of Fire, as its crew wrestles Atriox's Banished for control of galactic superweapon.
Halo Wars 2 sports piles of content, including a beefy single player campaign, classic RTS game modes, and an addictively fast-paced Blitz mode, which riffs on MOBA gameplay and card deck building. Come check it out with us on Beam tonight!
For now, all you need to do is head to our Mixer channel at Mixer.com/windowscentral and follow! When the stream begins, jump in on the live chat.
We'll give away a key for Halo Wars 2 towards the end of the show.

For those curious, we're aiming for a 90-minute air time, but honestly, we have no idea how long it will go. So grab a drink and join in on the fun to find out!
