Halo Wars 2 Ultimate Edition Listed in Xbox Store
It looks like there will be a regular digital edition of the upcoming Halo Wars 2, but also an 'Ultimate Edition' in the digital store as well. Nothing shows up now for the UE, but I'm sure its content will show up soon.
Update: No sooner than I posted, it shows up! The Ultimate Edition will include a Halo Wars 2 Season Pass for DLC which delivers regular updates that span more than six months and includes new Leaders, Units, a new campaign expansion and more content to be announced soon. The 'Definitive Edition' of the original Halo Wars is also included with improved graphics and runs natively on Xbox One and Win10 PC's.
The Ultimate Edition of Halo Wars 2 also lets you play four days early! (MacGyver10 18:10:25 UTC) (permalink)

Canon Fodder #78- 'Local Units'
Last week's Canon Fodder goes heavy on the lore of Halo Wars in preparation for today's E3 discussion of Halo Wars 2.
