You’d think bringing back one classic strategy game series would be enough for Relic with the work it’s doing with Age of Empires IV, but no, Relic wants to give us Company of Heroes 3 as well.
This sequel to one of the best tactical RTS games and WW2 games is going to be the most ambitious the series has ever seen, going all out with a new campaign layer, a new setting, and a long-running development cycle (four years and counting) that’s been conducted in close consultation with the fans. There’s only one catch: you’ve got to wait until late next year – at least for the finished game.
Officially Company of Heroes 3 is pegged for a ‘2022’ release, but if you want to try out the pre-alpha build that’s currently doing the rounds, you can get access to it right now until August 2. All you need to do is sign-up (for free) via the official website and link your Steam account. This build is being used as part of the ‘CoH-development’ program – a community collaboration initiative powered by Amplitude’s Games2Gether platform and similar in purpose to what Relic has done with the Age of Empires community.
