Halo Wars 2 delivers real-time strategy at the speed of Halo combat. Get ready to lead Spartans, Warthogs and other classic Halo fighting forces in a brutal war against a terrifying new enemy on the biggest Halo battlefield ever
Price is not always a result of the quality of a game, but mostly related to sales. There are plenty of very good games that had significant price cuts soon after launch (e.g. Deus Ex, Dishonored 2, ...).
Halo Wars 2 is actually very good, but it's genre on console is considered to be a niche and thus it probably didn't sell that well.

It was the same with Gears of War 4, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Quantum Break, and others - all great but seems to be if it's a Microsoft exclusive, wait up to 4 months and it's near a quarter of the original selling price. That's not a long wait for most!

Feels like such a rapid price plummet lately.

I take it this game isn't all that considering how quickly it's dropping

I enjoyed the beta in June last year, didn't enjoy the blitz beta though. Hoping for the Digital version to be this price as don't have my xbox anymore, Just the PC. Heat added though, Buzz.

I wouldn't hold your breath honestly, I've found Xbox digital prices to be mostly unreasonable - the majority of my XB1 games are disc versions because of this.

Would I have needed to play the first one to get the most out of this? Also, where does this fit in with the other Halo games (timeline wise). Thanks
