Company of Heroes 3

Company of Heroes 3 is a real-time strategy game released in February 2023 that places players in command of military forces across a dynamic campaign. The title represents an attempt by developer Relic Entertainment to push the franchise's formula forward with a more ambitious, systems-driven approach to storytelling and progression.

However, the dynamic campaign system that was meant to be a centerpiece fell short of its vision. Relic has acknowledged the feature was conceptually sound but ultimately too broken to deliver on its promise, with the studio recognizing it had overreached on scope. The disconnect between ambition and execution has become a defining aspect of how the game has been discussed since launch.
