The aim is an admirable one, but in a confusing turn of events, CoH 3 then spends very little time and effort telling this story for most of the campaign. Tell me a storyĬompany of Heroes 3’s traditional campaign unfolds in north Africa, and it starts with a little note saying the goal is telling the stories of how World War 2 affected local populations, mainly the Jewish community in Benghazi.

The commitment to shedding light on unheard perspectives from the war was one step too far, however, as Relic barely even scratches the surface. Its dual campaigns feature some of the best maps and intense strategy in the genre, and better still, Relic streamlined the experience so there’s much less frustration than in previous games. You will also be able to coordinate all actions at once, allowing you to think through every move in detail without the pressure of doing it all in real-time.Ĭompany of Heroes 3 is expected to arrive on PC this year.Relic Entertainment is back with a new World War II story in Company of Heroes 3, and while “another World War II story” might seem like a cliche at this point, CoH 3 is anything but tired and rote. In single-player modes, Full Tactical Pause gives you a choice on the pacing, allowing you to freeze the action. With the new title, Company of Heroes' gameplay has been enhanced with authentic new features, making for 'the deepest tactical experience to date.' The choices you make will affect not only the battles you fight but the story of the war itself. Set in a brand-new theatre of war in the Mediterranean, you can expect a variety of locations such as Italian mountain passes, North African deserts, and coastal regions. The developers also touch upon the game's historical battles set in famous locations, as well as the smaller untold stories of World War 2.

In the video, mission designer David Milne explains how Relic designed the missions in a way that will challenges players, but missions can always be completed no matter which factions, companies, or units have been selected. This feature offers sandbox-style gameplay, allowing you to command the war effort and experience a level of strategic choice. One of the new features coming to the series with this outing is the Dynamic Campaign Map.

A new Company of Heroes 3 video has been released that focuses on campaign missions.
