Relic Entertainment and SEGA have released a new trailer for Company of Heroes 3 that highlights the British forces. Company of Heroes 3 is the next chapter in the strategy franchise from Relic, an experienced studio when it comes to creating games in the RTS genre.
Company of Heroes 3 was announced in 2021 with a trailer that showed players what to expect from the World War II game. This time the franchise is heading to the Mediterranean, which will be the scene of new conflicts focused mainly on Italy and North Africa. Players will have the chance to command different factions, create deep strategies, and fight in exciting battles. The anticipation for the game is also great, as this is the first title in the franchise released since 2013 when the world was introduced to Company of Heroes 2, one of the best RTS games to enjoy with friends.
After Company of Heroes 3's delay, this time fans see the new trailer highlight the power of the British army. This is one of the four factions that will be available at launch and is classified as a flexible and tenacious faction, capable of fighting in any combat scenario. The British are also efficient thanks to their weaponry, with Pack Howitzer and 4.2 Heavy Mortar cannons, and the 6-Pounder Anti-Tank Gun. The British soldiers also have at their disposal vehicles like the Dingo Scout Car and support from allies like Nepali and Indian soldiers of the Gurkha.
Company of Heroes 3 will be released in physical and digital formats, and players can now purchase the game in either format through the official website. The game is available in regular and premium editions, with different pre-order bonuses. Players will also be able to experience the thrills of the game outside the PC. Company of Heroes 3 is heading to consoles, marking the first time that a game in the franchise is not only released on the PC.
It's not hard to see why Company of Heroes is considered a big name when it comes to the best World War II games. Originally this theme is thoroughly explored in first-person shooters, while Relic's franchise bets on the RTS genre. The result is a franchise that looks at historical events from a more strategic perspective and with immersive gameplay. In this new trailer, players are introduced to one of the game's most well-rounded factions, which makes Company of Heroes 3 one of the most strategically diverse releases in the franchise to date.
Company of Heroes 3 releases February 23 for PC and later 2023 for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
