As is well known, Company of Heroes 3 has been available for the PC since February, but console players are still waiting for its implementation. This waiting time will end in a few weeks, because the concrete release date of the console version has now been set.
Today, Relic Entertainment and SEGA finally nailed things for the console version of Company of Heroes 3. As is well known, the real-time strategy game has been available for the PC since February 23, 2023, but the already confirmed implementations for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S were still waiting for a release date – until today.
It is now certain: From May 30, 2023, real-time strategy fans will also be able to get started on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S; the waiting time is only a few weeks. Those who decide early will be able to pre-order the corresponding editions both physically and digitally from April 25th.
Company of Heroes 3 marks the debut of an offshoot of the long-running franchise on consoles. If you gamble here, you will of course get an adapted user interface compared to the PC version as well as full controller support and other special features. The latter should allow you to play on the console at your own pace.
New features like full tactical pause aim to give gamepad players a level of tactical control over the pace of the battlefield. Temporarily freezing the action allows you to coordinate all of your actions at once and think through every move in detail without the pressure of having to do everything in real-time.
Otherwise you get the same content that is available on the PC: a new theater of war, new tactics, four different factions and a wealth of untold stories from the Second World War. In the single player modes, the turn-based dynamic Italian campaign offers a sandbox experience with new strategic possibilities, while the vast deserts of North Africa offer a classic, narrative single player experience. For players who like competitive action, the title offers a wide range of online multiplayer and co-op vs. AI with more factions, mechanics and units than ever before in the series.
The new Company of Heroes 3 is now officially available for the PC.
