What is happening now

Company of Heroes remains one of the defining real-time strategy games since its 2006 debut, combining squad-based tactics with large-scale WWII battles across PC and mobile platforms. The franchise continues to expand, with Company of Heroes 3 recently receiving a roguelike-style expansion called ZeroSpace that departs from the series' traditional approach. Looking ahead, Relic Entertainment is marking two decades of the original game with a Definitive Edition arriving on Steam in early 2027. The remaster aims to honor the game's legacy while modernizing the experience, and will reportedly offer a substantial discount for longtime series fans. The studio has emphasized its commitment to supporting both the classic and current entries in the franchise.
