Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare

Halo Wars 2 : Awakening the Nightmare is an upcoming digital expansion for Halo Wars 2. It will feature a new campaign and a new cooperative mode known as Terminus Firefight. In addition, Awakening the Nightmare will also add two new Banished multiplayer leaders and two new standard multiplayer maps, the latter of which will also be made available to those without the expansion. The expansion is set to be released in fall 2017 for $19.99 USD on Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. It is not included with the Halo Wars 2 Season Pass.

Description
The Awakening the Nightmare campaign, which includes new bookend cutscenes by Blur Studio, takes place a few months after the main game. The story explores the Banished and their desperate struggle against the Flood, which survived the conflict on the Ark and the activation of the replacement Halo at the end of Halo 3.

In the new Terminus Firefight mode, up to three players can cooperate in defending their bases and a Forerunner terminus node against waves of hostile UNSC, Banished, and Flood forces. The mode, as well as the new leaders, was playable at the 2017 Electronic Entertainment Expo.
