Template:Game Infobox A rejected pitch for Halo Wars 3 was unveiled in 2017 through concept art.
Background
In 2017, Creative Assembly artist Brad Wright released concept art based on the pitch, alongside concept art for a cancelled pitch for Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare that was to feature Promethean enemies. He received permission to release the art on his ArtStation page from Microsoft.[1] Space battles would feature in the game, with a capital ship serving as the home base, from which ground forces would be deployed. Different rooms on the ship would provide bonuses, some buffing the ship itself in ship-to-ship battles.[2] Buffs would affect elements such as shields and thrusters.[3]
The ArtStation page's description was later removed, replaced with "Halo Wars 2 additional work done for Creative Assembly for Halo Wars 2. Property of Microsoft." Wright provided no explanation as to why the change was made.[4]
In 2020, concept artist Bill Yi uploaded some concept art to ArtStation and his personal website with filenames hw3
, depicting more space battle content and some ground battles. These concepts can be viewed below.[5][6]
As of February 2021, 343 Industries still had no plans to produce another game in the Halo Wars series.[7]
Trivia
The artwork produced heavily featured the UNSC Frontend, a stand-in ship for the ship that would be featured in gameplay and named after the user interface being the "front end" of a game. The ship is classed as an "M-class carrier" and has a registry of "18384973-YU". The ship was constructed in the "Outer Sol Docks" and was captained by "Captain Steve". Visually the ship is a mix of the Halcyon-class light cruiser and the fan-made "Nevada-class heavy frigate", with the addition of "wings" reminiscent of those on the Paris-class heavy frigate. Another concept piece labels the year as 2567, adding that the ship is in "Low Ark Orbit" and at Alpha Centauri.
