Microsoft has officially launched a trailer for its upcoming real-time strategy game, Halo Wars 2 . The video gives us a look at the main characters in the game.

The character below, is of Atriox, who leads the fierce alien faction called the Banished. Atriox was a former member of the Covenant army, and rebeleeed against them, but they couldn’t keep him confined. He is the antagonist of Halo Wars 2. The first shot is also of Atriox, observing his army.

And this is Captain James Cutter, the leader of the United Nations Space Command force’s ship, the UNSC Spirit of Fire.

Halo Wars 2 is set for launch on February 17th, on the Microsoft Store, for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC. It is unclear if the game will debut on Steam, but Halo Wars 2 will be sold in retail boxed copies. Microsoft did release Quantum Break on Steam after having it as a Windows Store exclusive from Aroril to August 2016. So, hopefully Halo Wars 2 will follow suit.
