Season 0 was the launch season of Halo Wars 2, beginning with the game's release on February 21, 2017. The season was present at game launch, and served as the "pre-season" prior to the official start of the seasons with Season 1 on February 28, 2017. The season was themed to coincide with the Sgt. Forge day one/ pre-order DLC, and features Forge's Warthog as the Season banner.

Season 0 Title Updates

A single patch was released for Halo Wars 2 during Season 0. For the Xbox One, this patch was a day one patch released on February 21, while for Windows 10 players the patch was released later on in February.

February patch

Hello - A game update is rolling out today for Halo Wars 2 on Windows 10. This is essentially a "day one" update that was slightly delayed for PC and while it includes a number of improvements it does not directly address many of the issues reported by some players since the game launched. The team is working on a substantial patch for Xbox One and Windows 10 that is close to being handed off to certification at which point we will share patch notes here in this thread. The team is pushing hard and fast to get these updates into the game as soon as possible. Thank you for your feedback and patience.
