Relic Entertainment announces future plans – updates and DLC, small- and large-scale titles, and re-imaginings

Company of Heroes and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series developer Relic Entertainment has announced its plans for the future following its split from former parent company SEGA in March 2024.

The company’s plans include:

• Deepening Commitment to Existing Titles – Relic will continue to provide robust support for its acclaimed titles, including Company of Heroes 3 which just announced a new downloadable content and a major update. Relic is committed to ongoing updates, and community engagement to ensure a thriving and long-lasting experience for players.
• Independent Development, Creative Experiences – Recognizing the power of creativity and innovation, Relic will actively pursue the development and publishing of smaller-scope, in-house games, while also continuing to develop the larger, complex strategy titles the studio is renowned for. This will allow the studio to explore new genres and gameplay experiences and continue fostering a culture of experimentation and artistic expression.
• Re-Imagining Classics – Drawing upon its rich catalog of beloved games, Relic will explore opportunities to bring these classic titles to modern audiences. This may include re-releases, remasters, or brand-new franchise experiences that capture the spirit of the originals while appealing to a new generation of players.

“Relic Entertainment has always been a studio defined by its resilience and passion for creating unforgettable gaming experiences,” said Relic Entertainment CEO Justin Dowdeswell in a press release. “This new chapter marks a significant milestone for us. By embracing independence and focusing on our core strengths, we are confident in our ability to deliver innovative, high-quality games that will resonate with players around the world. The future of Relic Entertainment is bright, and we are excited to embark on this new journey.”
