I'd like to see Halo Wars 2 or a new AoE fully controllable with smartglass, might be interesting.

You had me at Strategy Game =D



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Most likely to be Age of Empires. Halo Wars has only had one game so it can't really be considered an established strategy franchise. Viva Pinata isn't even a strategy game.


Viva Pinata is also not beloved at all...

If it's AoE it better have a PC version >.
Of the other two Halo Wars seems more likely. The Viva Pinata sequel didn't sell too well on the 360 but HW is sitting quite comfortably at 2.4 million.



It wouldn't surprise me if it was AoE. They've re-released AoE2 in HD on Steam with full Steam workshop integration and a new expansion pack. Furthermore, they have the Age of Mythology Extended edition coming out this week.

Assuming the sales/pre-orders of those two have been good, (and I currently have no reason to suspect otherwise), a full blown AoE title would seem an easy bet.

Can Halo Wars be called a franchise yet? At the moment it's a spin-off game. HW2 would make it a franchise in its own right though.

If it is Age of Empires on console I may buy an Xbox One to play. I love Age of Empires
