Season 15 is the fifteenth season of Halo Wars 2 to launch (not including the Yappening in-game event), beginning on August 13, 2020.[1] The season followed Season 14, representing the first update to Halo Wars 2 in eight months, and is the currently-ongoing season of Halo Wars 2. The season's emblem is represented by a Shroud. The season's accompanying balance patch mostly saw balance changes for the new Pavium and Voridus leaders, among other tweaks.

In February 2021, 343 Industries announced that it had no plans to provide further post-launch support for Halo Wars 2. Although it committed to keeping the game and its servers running as expected, it would not produce any further content updates or balance patches for the game.[2] As a result, Season 15 is expected to be the game's last, and will likely continue indefinitely.
