Microsoft G7Q-00056 Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare downloadable game

Expansion Campaign for Halo Wars 2 Owners

Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare is a downloadable expansion that adds a new single-player campaign and multiplayer leaders to the base real-time strategy game. It is built for players who already own Halo Wars 2 on Xbox One or Windows 10 and want more story content featuring the Banished faction. The digital code delivers the DLC directly to the account without physical media.

Adds Flood Missions Beyond the Season Pass

This expansion is not included in the Halo Wars 2 Season Pass, so owners of that pass still need a separate purchase to access the new campaign. The jump is worth it when you have completed the main story and want to play as the Banished against the awakened Flood threat. It also adds fresh multiplayer leaders for online matches, extending the strategic options beyond the original release.
