An Independent Company (of Heroes)

Well there's a couple of big surprises.. Congrats on going indepent and great to see the patch is going to hit a lot sooner than expected ! Here's to the future!

That are great news!

Hopefully we will be able to see new grand Campaigns for Singleplayer. I want France and the Nomandy please. :D

This is so exciting, this is more than I could have hoped for for Relic, and I really hope that you get the support you need while not being under a publisher. I also hope that whoever the investor(s) are let the studio do their thing. I can't even imagine how this is going to change their update/content models, as well as their monetization and progression platforms in their games.

Will Relic still own and/or support it's other games?

Great..... Hope you will make coh3 and maybe DAW4 great again :)

This means that if you don't work hard anymore, no one will pay you wages

I hope this is a good news for you guys. Keep up the good work! 

i will support and community does. congrats hopefully much better after this

Congratulations and hoping for many great CoH updates to come (as well as still praying on DoW 4 hopium). 

Best of luck going forward Relic. I hope you make the most of this opportunity. 

Wow this is huge. I would love to hear more about the details of this decision.

I think independence is the best thing for creativity, but could be risky financially. Lets be honest, CoH3 start was very rough. You guys worked on it really hard and I think the game is in a good shape now, but I don't think any indie company could survive a release like that. It would be interesting to hear about what lead you to this decision and what are your plans in the future. What will happen with the Relic IPs? okay, you will support CoH3 for a while, but is SEGA the one who legally owns the IP?

Anyway I wish you guys the best. This is definitely a great opportunity, be sure to use it wisely. Although I see great enthusiasm and dedication in you guys, so most likely you will be fine. :-)

Good luck! This is both a scary and exciting change. Lot's of potential but you have to make it work. Here's hoping that Company of Heroes 3 continues to get better and better!

1.6 is a good sign that dispels concern about the future.

I hope that on Twitch the spirit of the players rises with a light video/comment about what relic they are working on

The developers of COH3 have to understand that the public has matured a lot over 10 years of playing COH2 and has become demanding and one of the problems initially at launch was precisely in the development of this game because a lot of things that the community said, especially the best players, didn't want listening to the criticism and ignoring much of what was said, I hope that from now on things will really improve, mainly because it has become an independent studio or the efforts to stay in the market will really be taken seriously otherwise they will go bankrupt. Now is the turning point, you will have more creative freedom at least to implement your ideas and thus meet demands and you can be sure that there is a lot of work ahead of you to surpass COH2 in 1 or 2 years of support and another 3 or 4 of balancing because it is a very complex game, especially for those who are just starting to play the franchise. I hope they bring other factions like Russia and Japan that could not stay out of this world war. Don't forget to bring the King Tiger and Pershing M26 in future updates

Congratulations! Sounds very good. The Coh franchise is the franchise of my life. Love all. Parts, but coh3 is my favorite. Hopefully for many many years to come. All the best ?

What are the plans? Is that why there are no more console disk version in shops anymore? Will seek a new publisher or go digital only?

Congrats, And thank you for the hard work and bringing this exciting update this early !

OK, congratulations , now deploy new paid battlegroups (at least 3 for each faction), new paid skins and announce the new faction, you need money, so give us content and we will give you our money, if you can't work to produce content relevant to the game will close its doors after 1 year.

Congratulations & utmost support for your transition back to the wild cage of independent creative freedom!

In hoping you get a crack at exciting new projects that will end up genre-staple like DoW & then CoH were!
CoH3 is shaping up as the best game in the series thanks to your hard work, at any sign of a CoH1 remastered in or aside CoH3, I'll drop dead of excitement! 

Absolutely blasted the update is coming almost a month earlier too, this is an amazing start and already I hope is a sign of increased fluidity in the team's workflow!
Those 2 new battlegroups are the best in the entire series after the wehrmacht "screams in german" doctrines in coh1 xD
Truck convoy let's gooo!
