Multiplayer question

Is Blitz mode gonna be the only multiplayer option in Halo Wars 2?

if it isnt can someone give me an idea on what to expect for multiplayer on launch like how many factions there are and the player limit/leaderboards?

Thanks in advance.

At launch, Halo Wars 2 will have more than Blitz for multiplayer. There will be the following modes:

> Skirmish: Test your battle strategies against a range of AI difficulty levels. Fight across all the environments and multiplayer game modes with as many AI and co-op friends (or enemies!) as each mode will allow.
>
> Strongholds: Strongholds is a fast-paced, timed game mode where the objective is to control more bases than your opponent when the timer stops.
>
>
> Domination: Domination offers the classic RTS gameplay of Halo Wars, now with all the new units, leaders, special abilities, and depth of Halo Wars 2. Build your base, build your army, and battle for control of the map and supremacy of the Ark!
>
> Deathmatch: In Deathmatch you’ll plan and build your base and army, but instead of fighting for map control you’ll fight until only one player remains standing. Outthink and outflank your opponents, then have a celebratory barbecue on the smoking remains of their home bases.
>
> Blitz: An all-new multiplayer mode that is an exciting addition to the Halo Wars series with a unique approach to RTS gameplay.

Source.

For factions, I believe we will have only the UNSC and the Banished.
