Crossplay-stöd till Halo Wars 2 inom kort

Halo Wars 2 släpptes tidigare i år till både PC och Xbox One, och nu låter 343 Industries meddela via Halo Waypoint att crossplay är på väg så de båda formaten ska kunna spela tillsammans. Såhär skriver de:

"During our 10/17 live stream we also dropped breaking news of another new feature coming in the next game update - Crossplay for Xbox and Windows 10 PCs. As an Xbox Play Anywhere title, players have the ability to enjoy Halo Wars 2 on their console or PC, but up until now that has not included cross-platform online play. Crossplay has been a passion project for the team and frankly was something we weren't sure would be feasible to incorporate at this stage in the game's development. The team has worked hard to deliver this feature and final testing indicates it's ready for release into the wild. Crossplay, Arena support, and the Xbox One X visual enhancements are all targeted for release in late October."

Det är dock mer än så planerat till Halo Wars 2, som kommer få stöd för Xbox Arena (möjlighet att skapa egna turneringar):

"We're excited to be rolling out support for Xbox Arena which will let players organise and conduct their own online tournaments in Halo Wars 2. Xbox Arena on Xbox Live officially launched in May and the 343 team has been working closely with our partners at Creative Assembly and on the Xbox platform team to bring this great feature to Halo Wars 2. Xbox Arena tournaments can be created or joined from either the Halo Wars 2 game hub or via an Xbox Club. The team is excited to see what the community will do with this awesome new feature when it rolls out in just a few weeks."
