They're the ones behind the enormous Total War series. Creative Assembly has been at the RTS genre for more than 15 years. I was bummed, but I counted my blessings regarding what we had and moved on.When Microsoft announced that Creative Assembly was working on Halo Wars 2 back in 2015, I was psyched.
I thought it had a better storyline than the main games releasing at the time, I thought Ensemble killed it with console-based RTS design and I actually enjoyed playing the game with my roommates.I also assumed that, once Ensemble Studios was shut down in 2009 (literally right after Halo Wars released) that we'd never see another game in this particular offshoot of the franchise.
