The real-time strategy series comes to console for the first time.
Company of Heroes 3 Console Edition will launch for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series on May 30, publisher SEGA and developer Relic Entertainment announced. Both physical and digital edition pre-orders will open on April 25.
The real-time strategy game first launched for PC via Steam on February 23.
Here is an overview of the Console Edition, via SEGA:
For the very first time, Relic Entertainment is bringing its universally lauded Company of Heroes franchise to console players, offering fans around the world the deepest strategic experience yet. Console players can expect a custom UI, full controller support, and special features that allow them to play at their own pace. Furthermore, the user interface has been adapted for gamepads to ensure a fun and immersive experience for all.
New features like Full Tactical Pause offer gamepad players a level of tactical control over the pacing on the battlefield. By freezing the action, players who choose to employ Full Tactical Pause will be able to coordinate all their actions at once, thinking through every move in detail without the pressure of doing it all in real-time.
Company of Heroes‘ renowned boots-on-the-ground storytelling will bring players to a brand-new theatre of war, unlocking authentic new tactics, four distinct factions, and a wealth of untold stories from World War II. In single-player modes, the turn-based Italian Dynamic Campaign offers a sandbox-style gameplay experience with new levels of strategic choice, whereas the sweeping deserts of North Africa allow for a classic, narrative-led single-player experience. For players that enjoy their competitive action, Company of Heroes 3 has a huge online multiplayer and co-op vs AI offer, with more factions, mechanics and units than ever before.
