Relic Entertainment and Sega are bringing Company of Heroes 3 to console, the publisher announced during The Game Awards 2022, making it the first time the military strategy game series is playable on anything other than PC. Relic made the announcement during The Game Awards 2022, and while they didn’t have a specific release date, you can expect Company of Heroes 3 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S sometime in 2023. The PC version will launch in February 2023.
The footage Relic showed included a brand-new feature, Full Tactical Pause, which, as the name suggests, lets you bring the real-time action to a complete pause while you recalibrate and plan your next move. Company of Heroes 3 is being rebuilt for PS5 and Xbox and will include new control schemes for easier precision, improved UI with better readability, and more intuitive button layouts.
Company of Heroes 3 takes place in nations surrounding the Mediterranean Sea during World War II, and Relic says it will tell “untold stories” from the war. These will unfold across four factions and the new Dynamic Campaign Map set in Italy or the African theatre with its “classically designed, narrative-led single-player adventure.”
Expect more from Relic and Sega in the months leading up to Company of Heroes 3’s launch early in 2023.
