Overview 


As many of you will know, Relic has become an independent studio! While we're incredibly excited about our future, the transition was (and continues to be) a huge adjustment for us. That said, the dust is certainly settling, and we can now update all of you on some of our plans for Company of Heroes 3 in the months ahead. 


First up, we want to thank everyone that took part in our first Steam Free Weekend. The response from everyone was tremendous, and we’re happy to see new players and longtime franchise fans jumping into CoH3 for the first time. The feedback from the Free Weekend helped us validate not just the work that we’ve done over the last year, but also several key items that we’re already planning to improve.  


Console Edition 


Going independent is incredibly exciting for us. It presents us with new challenges and opportunities that the team is eager to tackle in the coming years. However, being independent also means we no longer have access to certain resources that we had in the past, which leaves us with some difficult decisions. One of those decisions is that moving forward, we will no longer be releasing further updates for the Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition. The team will still conduct regular server maintenance and, if need be, make any critical game fixes should an issue arise in the future. This was an incredibly difficult decision to make, but one we felt was necessary for our future success given the new reality we find ourselves in. The CoH3 Console Edition will remain available for any players that wish to play it on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X or S. 


We will be targeting a hot fix for the Console Edition as soon as possible to remove the erroneous Havok license warning pop-up. 


PC Edition 


The first half of 2024 was a roller coaster for the studio as we transitioned to independent status. We know players have wanted to see a Company of Heroes 3 roadmap for 2024, but due to these changes at the studio, we haven't been able to commit to and communicate content plans with a high degree of confidence. With key plans and items now in place and our transition now well underway, we can start calling some shots.  


Though we can’t provide a full roadmap, we want to let you know what we’re working on for the rest of 2024. Our team hopes to deliver the following three PC updates before the year’s end: 

  • 1.7.0 in late June 
  • 1.8.0 targeting the Fall 
  • 1.9.0 targeting early Winter 


Both our 1.8.0 and 1.9.0 patches are still in flux as we determine the changes, improvements, new maps, fixes, etc. we can deliver in that timeframe. Once we have a better sense of what’s coming in both 1.8.0 and 1.9.0, we will be sure to let you know. 


With our 1.7.0 update coming in late June, we have a ton of gameplay and quality of life improvements that we can’t wait for you to see. As a teaser, you can expect: 

  • Enhanced and redesigned abilities on two units per Faction
  • A new 4v4 map for all modes 
  • Italian Campaign Map improvements 
  • Towing & Vehicle improvements 
  • And much more 


We’ll share more details on the June 1.7.0 PC update soon, so be sure to stay tuned to our forums and social channels. 


Thank you to all our players for their ongoing support! It’s what drives our team to continue making Company of Heroes 3 better and better every day.

Are you ---- serious? You're dropping support for the console edition? Then why the hell did you even  make a console edition in the first ---- place if your plan was to abandon it?!

That's a brave decision not to continue developing the console edition. Congratulations on your courage.

They had help from Sega which they are no longer a part of since becoming independent. They no longer have the resources to support it.

Any plans for further graphic and audio improvements? Also, the game still has old icons from Coh2.

Pretty sure nobody planned on Sega's mass layoffs and the pivot to being an independent studio at the time the console version was developed.


Hard news for folks to hear regardless.

You should ask SEGA, not Relic.

Hugely disappointing news about the ending of console support. Why not release the latest expansion before cutting support as now the game is essentially half-finished? I certainly won’t be buying another CoH game again

Yes there is. Also the icons don't really matter. You guys would complain if they made new icons for every unit "Why didn't they just reuse the old ones from coh2 to save money" - you guys finding everything to complain about

While I feel for the people who bought the console version, this seems like a smart move. Console RTS is a tough combo to make work to begin with. Better they focus on making one version of the game really exceptional.

Best move you've made since release is to let go of console.

I asked a question, I don't know why you are getting all defensive.

Well, we can immediately see the people that didn't buy coh3 for console by their response to this news. Of course they wouldn't care if you stopped supporting console. They have no skin in the game. As someone who bought the game day 1 and the dlc day 1 this is pretty heart breaking. I'm going through alot of health problems right now due to a spinal injury so playing this game on console was easier for me. COH3 is without a doubt the best rts on console but I also understand that in the gaming industry if it doesn't make dollars it doesn't make sense so I get it. Good luck Relic, hope everything works out.

Rozdělte pasivní a aktivni body na obrazovce v pravém horním rohu, plete se to. Chci si moct postavit letiště a vlastní letadla jako to bylo v comand a conguer generals včetně lodí a ponorek. Automatické získávaní zkušeností u USA takhle musím každou jednotku odklíkavat myší. Na mapě možnost speciálních nálezů jako tanky a jiné zbraně které si nebude moct ani jedná strana vyrobit. Vylepšit chování jednotek. Ve městech civilisti a podle toho volit taktiku aby jich umřelo co nejméně, zatímco druhé straně by to bylo jedno a mohla tvořit pasti tak.

I know its a small part of the game maybe ... but are u planning to introduce a german voice for the Wehrmacht and the DAK? If u speak german its really weird to hear the sterio type voice lines ... all the time. 

But other than that, you're doing a really good job. just keep doing it, and good luck.
