Company of Heroes Wire Report
February 2023
There’s been so much Company of Heroes news in the last couple months, we knew we had to recap it all and showcase some of the amazing content our players have been creating! With CoH3’s launch approaching fast this month on February 23rd and the Multiplayer Tech Test behind us, we’re not going to waste anymore time. Let’s get into it!
NEWS
Multiplayer Tech Test
Our final public test of Company of Heroes 3 concluded in January, and we want to thank all 154,000 players who took part! This last push allowed us to iron out any remaining technical issues before launch and it was a great opportunity for our team to get a head start on your feedback. You can find all the details here, along with the results of our testing and an outline of how we plan to tackle your top points of feedback. You can also check out our video recap!
CoH3 is Coming to Console
We’re incredibly excited to be bringing Company of Heroes 3 to our fans on Xbox Series S and X and PlayStation 5 later this year with the support of our SEGA partner studios. You can find all the details and our FAQ here, along with our reveal trailer below and console gameplay reveal.
DEVELOPER SITREP
British Forces Deep Dive
We just completed the third installment of our Deep Dive series looking at CoH3’s launch factions. This time we “risked it for a biscuit” as we hit the field with the British Forces. Check out the behind-the-scenes insights from our developers Matt Philip and Will “MonolithicBacon” Ward.
Stay tuned for our Deutsches Afrikakorps Deep Dive coming in the next couple weeks!
