War Never ChangesĪs we mentioned, the game that preceded this one was a real show stopper that galvanised a rather predictable genre and was arguably ahead of it’s time in terms of quality. However, did the game earn it’s stripes, or was it discharged and dismissed from duty? We find out in our review of Company of Heroes 2.

This title aimed to offer fans of the series more of the same with some quality-of-life tweaks. However, thanks to it’s much more strategic format, the game also plays rather like games like X-Com, Iron Harvest, Call to Arms and Dawn of War. This game plays rather like other games that take inspiration from war and history such as Medal of Honor, Call of Duty and Battlefield. However, many also questioned how the developer would aim to improve upon their last outing. The initial title was a roaring success, so when the sequel Company of Heroes 2 came along, many thought that this was surely a nailed on success. One such game series that has done the latter is the Company of Heroes series that opted for a much more strategic take on war and historical violence than the various FPS games that occupied the same space.

Some of which have failed miserably, but others have found great success in this field. The end of the trailer also gives us a brief glimpse at a command tent in what looks like a desert, and a voice on the radio mentions Rommel, who is the iconic nemesis of the allies during the North African campaigns.We have seen more than a few developers take a bash at creating a truly immersive and realistic WW2 epic.

It’s a CGI trailer, so it doesn’t use in-game footage, but the action takes place in what looks like an Italian coastal town, which scans with the image of Italy that’s been on the Twitch channel during the countdown. We’ll have more to say on this in a short while, but feel free to watch the video for any initial details you can glean. Is it a new strategy game? Is it another expansion for Company of Heroes 2? As many fans have already speculated, it’s Company of Heroes 3.Ī new trailer has just surfaced on the Company of Heroes’ YouTube channel, which confirms that Company of Heroes 3 is indeed real, and it will be keeping the popular tactical RTS game in WW2. Relic has been teasing something on its Twitch page since last night, and everyone’s been wondering what the deal is.
