===Production notes===
*Two versions of this trailer exist:
**The official version revealed at E3 2016, which included an extended musical outro, a different title reveal, and also altered the color of lighting on certain assets, such as the bright light on Atriox's gauntlet.<ref name="hw2e3">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O-bFXqbqKQ '''Youtube.com''' - ''Halo Canon: Halo @ E3 2016'']</ref>
**The official version released on Youtube on the same day, which extended the outro, opting for subtle piano, while showing a new wide-angle of the battle, revealing it took place in the crashed remains of the then-unnamed ''Enduring Conviction''. Additionally, the different title card revealed the game's release date.<ref name="hw2e3youtube">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjN1eWhzPeA '''Youtube.com''' - ''Xbox: Halo Wars 2 Official E3 Trailer'']</ref>
