North African Operation Revealed, Play it Now for Free via CompanyOfHeroes.com
Relic Entertainment and SEGA Europe are proud to announce that Company of Heroes 3, the next instalment in the critically and fan acclaimed RTS franchise releases onto PC via Steam on November 17, 2022.
Company of Heroes 3 will bring fans and newcomers to the series with the largest and most in-depth single player experience in franchise history. From launch, it’ll offer 4 playable factions, and two unique campaigns: The Italian Dynamic Campaign, and the North African Operation.
Players that are eager to get their hands on CoH3 won’t have to wait until November to play it. You can head over to CompanyOfHeroes.com now and sign up for Relic’s community feedback program, COH-Development, to gain access to one mission from the newly revealed North African Operation. Players will be able to try out Mission Alpha, and take command of the infamous Afrikakorps, as they attempt to repel the British from their entrenched positions.
While the previously announced Italian Dynamic Campaign offers a branching, open-ended experience, the North African Operation is a more classically designed, narrative-led single-player experience. A wealth of new mechanics has drastically changed the battlefield in North Africa, where tank-riding enables coordinated rapid-strike assaults that overwhelm the enemy.
Powerful Italian units can be called upon in Mission Alpha, such as the Guastatori combat engineers and the L6/40 Light Tank. Players will also be able to enjoy new core gameplay innovations like the introduction of side armour, enemy vehicle recovery and vehicle-towing, which lets you reposition your hard-hitting artillery like the German Flak 36 and British 17-Pounder.
