Release Date: Late 2022

Quote:
The legendary strategy franchise is back! Company of Heroes 3 is the ultimate package of action, tactics and strategy. Take charge in the heat of real-time battle, then command as a General guiding the overall campaign where every decision matters. ​

Overwhelm your opponents with new and familiar factions, units, and international Battlegroups. Command ground, air and naval forces and build supply lines to crush enemy advances on the new Dynamic Campaign Map - no two playthroughs are ever alike! Play at your own pace across campaign and skirmish modes before diving into blistering multiplayer action. Discover the untold stories of a stunning Mediterranean theatre, featuring next generation destructible environments, all powered by Relic's proprietary Essence Engine. ​



Award-winning Tactical Gameplay

Company of Heroes 3 delivers the next generation of acclaimed tactical gameplay. Beloved combat mechanics collide with authentic new gameplay features, making for the deepest tactical experience to date. ​

Make use of daring flanking moves to expose enemy side armor, experience all new infantry breaching mechanics allowing you to flush enemy units from their garrisons, and master elevation to enhance your line of sight and gain the upper hand.

A Stunning New Theatre

Welcome to the Mediterranean - a breathtaking new theatre filled with untold stories of war. Engage ferocious enemy forces across Italian mountain passes, breathtaking coastal vistas and the sweeping deserts of N Africa. Stunning visuals deliver authentic and highly diverse environments designed to keep you on your toes. ​

Mountainous maps will require uniquely different strategies from coastal towns, with verticality now greatly affecting units’ line of sight (True Sight). Desert plains will call for careful reconnaissance and daring armored maneuvers. On this new frontline, intelligence trumps speed and clever use of local terrain will let you bewilder your opponents and rout them from the field.



New Layers Of Strategy

Experience the biggest single player campaign in franchise history. The new Dynamic Campaign Map delivers full ‘sandbox-style’ gameplay, allowing players to command the overall war effort and experience an unprecedented level of strategic choice. ​

Establish vital supply lines before deploying rear guard defenses to secure your advance. Launch air and naval strikes to weaken and scatter enemy forces or liberate a nearby town to develop a Partisan spy network. Choose your forces and upgrade your veteran companies to match your playstyle. Meanwhile, the optional Full Tactical Pause feature allows players total control over the pacing of single-player action. Plan your attacks, then effortlessly queue up lethal precision plays that will give you the edge in battle.



Diverse Factions & Units

Company of Heroes 3 promises to delight even the most ardent WW2 enthusiasts thanks to the largest number of launch factions in the series to date. ​

New army customization mechanics will allow you to call in the help of a varied cast of specialist units. Take up the fight with new elite squads including the American-Canadian Special Service Forces, the revered Gurkhas from the Commonwealth and many more. ​

From devastating tank destroyers to clandestine recon vehicles, Company of Heroes 3 features the largest roster in the series to date. The super light Weasel, the armor sniping Nashorn, and the Chaffee Light Tank are just a few of the units making their debut. Also, let's not forget revamped classics like the M3 Recovery Vehicle Halftrack, which can now be used to repair and steal abandoned enemy vehicles!



Cinematic Action

Feel the blistering impact of every mortar shell and naval bombardment with Relic's state-of-the-art Essence Engine. In Company of Heroes 3, every location becomes a fully destructible sandbox, opening up limitless tactical gameplay options for you or your enemy to exploit. ​

Bring fortified buildings crashing down onto enemy squads, then witness enhanced destruction mechanics at play as soldiers exploit fresh ruins as dynamic cover. Stunning new rendering and particle FX technology depicts fire, sand and smoke like never before. Brilliant new soldier animations combine with enhanced A.I, delivering realistic squad reactions to the battlefield. Optimized for DirectX 12 and multi-core CPUs, Relic's new engine technology will deliver cinematic action to rival any Hollywood blockbuster.

It seems they wanna stray away from more authored single campaign. Hmm. I hope the singleplayer campaign wont be just a sequnce of skirmish matches until we conquer the whole map. The old Rise of Legends has a good take on this idea, a strategic overmap where you were in control of what you will do next, but still, authored mission, all of them. Hope for the best. I wish they'd showed the africa theatre of war, much more interesting visually

They had something similar in a DLC for CoH2, I think it was the Ardennes campaign. The missions were actual missions, not just skirmishes. Of course, they can do it differently here.

The game looks good. Gonna try to signup for the alpha later or tomorrow because right now it doesn't seem possible.

This was the series that spoiled RTS games for me. After Company of Heroes everything else felt so pale in comparison... It's great that they are releasing a 3rd game.

The pre-alpha actually has a decent amount of content: a campaign and some simple skirmish scenarios to get you familiar with the game... which will already feel familiar to you if you've played CoH 2. No, you can't play as Axis yet. The campaign features a strategic map where you can plan separate engagements. It's set in Italy and its pinnacle is the battle at Monte Cassino. I wonder what else it will offer later on as this battle was the largest engagement in the whole Italian theater.

Gameplay-wise it seems that they have largely abandoned the aspect of constructing buildings (I'll miss it). Another thing I've noticed is that now weapons are universally accurate - no misses, no ricochets etc. Maybe they'll change this in the future. So far it looks somewhat promising and with enough effort it will shape out as a worthy successor of the series.

As for the die-hard CoH 1 fans: don't get your hopes up. At this point, I doubt that any RTS can surpass it anyway.

I was half-expecting a complete travesty so the fact that it still retains an authentic-ish tone is comforting, though it is evident that the vintage engine is being pushed to its limits. Fingers crossed, hope the single-player campaign will be as solid as they claim.

I played the alpha, it's rough around the edges, but it's heading in the right direction. One year is more than enough to polish this and add the required content.

Why not?!

And what's with the poor, sheep, mentality?!

My son's PC has an i5 2500k and a 970GTX and runs almost everything decently at 1080p, including new titles.

My concerns arose as I read the minimum game requirements. 8th generation is required. I do not know the differences in CPU generations apart from the higher clock speed Razz
When I have some time, I will check if it works Smile

that's bollocks. the only way to make that a requirement is by making the game windows 11 exclusive. otherwise that i5-8400T requirement is just a point of reference. I don't think there's much difference between that and my i5-6600 or other, similar cpus

Theres nothing similar between an 8400 and your 6600. The 8th gen chip is vastly more powerful. Not exactly the same chip in this pic, but we get the ideea






I dont think they're refering to not being able to run the game. Its probably about the power needed. RTS games usually take more cpu grunt do to their nature. I wouldnt worry too much at this point. The game is one and a half years away. Quite literally in the middle of development

Damn, game looks good! I loved the first CoH but didn't like the 2nd one. Hearing that this one kinda goes back more towards first CoH roots, should be good.


My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 32gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

I could see why people didn't like CoH2 at release, given how many issues it had. But now it's definitely the better game from a mechanics standpoint.
