I was really hoping for something similar, but I’m quite sure they won’t announce that now. I think we’ll only get the new leader dlc announcement.
Ready for some Halo Wars 2 news!

Hopefully they cover whats to come extensively, based on OP’s description its sounds like they will mainly focus on how they made the game.

From what I understood quickly reading Ske7ch’s response on reddit there will be nothing new but the next leader reveal.
Just a reminder that the panel is happening now.
Watch it here.
I’m liking this, they said we’re hopefully seeing a balance patch next week as with the release of Kinsano
Yes!!! They hinted at the next leader drop being a Lekgolo, cant wait!!!
Edit: Sorry for the confusion guys.They hinted at the new leader being a Lekgolo on the last slide which covered upcoming content and leaders. The background image of the slide featured the outline of two Lekgolo’s and the panellist mentioned that although they cant tell us about upcoming leaders directly the background image may be a hint.

If you don’t mind my asking, how did they hint at that? I didn’t watch but am definitely interested.
Anyone care to update those of us that worked and couldn’t watch it?

Well, they shared a lot of Kinsano’s abilities and units. Almost all of her abilities are fire based, leaving DOT on the ground, she’s got warthogs that shoot flaming mortars that are great versus infantry and buildings. Her hero unit is herself in a supped up Cyclops armor that has flamethrowers instead of cannons. It has a wall of flame ability that basically makes a zone of death that no one can cross alive. She’s also got two passives that increase the speed and damage of your units (kinda like a Decimus). She also has two summoning abilities kinda like ODST drop that cutter has, but instead of dropping ODSTs it drops Hellbringers and the pods explode after they land.
Overall, she looked pretty cool. I was kinda skeptical at first because I thought “seriously, its like every unit except with flame…” but after they showed some gameplay it actually looked pretty cool.
They also mentioned a balance patch possibly being released around the same time, but that’s not a for sure thing.
And apparently the next leader is going to be a hunter? I can’t confirm that I didn’t see that part but someone else said it.
I missed the stream 
hopefully it gets uploaded to youtube or Halo channel.
the video is archived guys, click the link, go to videos n look for an 8 n a half hour video “main theatre”. halo at about 6 n a half hours in. but they showed an outline of a hunter on an image that said content every month AND they said they will be adding a “SILLY” leader, which leads one to believe the unggoys will get a chance to shine this summer. LOL lovable lil buggers.
