It’s also been ten years since Company of Heroes 2, and the sequel is gorgeous to look at. The campaign structure is also said to be more dynamic in nature though, feeling less scripted and pre-defined in how you want to approach the larger conflict – with optional missions and different roads that can lead to success. Included in the base game as a North African campaign and one that takes place in Italy – two of the lesser explored WWII combat arenas, and two that offer a good mix of different nationalities and characters fighting on either side of the conflict.
What we haven’t seen yet are some of the storytelling aspects that give the game additional character and dramatic flair as you’re playing through the campaign – but seeing as how that’s always been a staple of the series we have little to worry about on that front either. We’ve had very limited hands-on time with COH 3 thus far, but what we’ve seen so far has felt like a wonderfully refined take on the classic formula, with small tweaks to the gameplay and a nice layer of audiovisual polish. Relic’s return to the Company of Heroes franchise is coming out on February 23rd, and with Company of Heroes 3 SEGA might already have a PC GOTY candidate on their hands – in February, though that’s kind of what happened with Elden Ring last year as well. It may still be very early in the year, but devout PC gamers who enjoy RTS games have one of their ‘game of the year’ candidates coming out very soon already.
