Company Of Heroes 2 Is Official

Just last week  a UK magazine was showing off Company of Heroes 2, today it has been confirmed that THQ has officially announced the game and is looking at an early 2013 release date. The game takes place in World War II (that old thing), where players will take the role of the Red Army to fight Nazi invaders taking over Mother Russia.

Relic Entertainment is behind the development of Company Of Heroes 2, using the company’s own Essence 3.0 Engine. Relic has said the sequel will have such features as dynamic battle tactics, environmental destruction, and new commander abilities.

“Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology while retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success,” said Relic producer Greg Wilson in the announcement.
