The Start menu of the Beta

The Halo Wars 2 Open Beta, is a phase of the development of Halo Wars 2, developed by Creative Assembly and published by Microsoft Studios. It was publicly announced at E3 2016. The beta started on June 13 to June 20, 2016.[1]

Overview

The beta opened on June 13, 2016. Players could enter it by going to the Xbox store and downloading it for free. The Beta was only available on Xbox One as the developers couldn't make that version good enough leading to them doing a second beta for it later on.[2]

Timetable

  • June 13 to June 16: Domination will be available on Ricochet. Domination is the classic RTS gameplay from Halo Wars, now with all-new units, leaders, special abilities, and the amazing depth of Halo Wars 2. Players will build their bases and armies, and battle for control of the map and supremacy on the Ark.
  • June 17 to June 20: Deathmatch will be available on Veteran. In Deathmatch, you’ll plan and build your base and army – but instead of fighting for map control, you’ll fight until only one player remains standing.
