Company of Heroes 3 promises to be a huge RTS. In addition to the massive Italian campaign, which includes a large turn-based campaign map, we also get the North African campaign – a second campaign with a brand new faction: the Deutsche Afrika Korps.

Almost a year after Relic Entertainment and Sega announced Company of Heroes 3, the next instalment in the World War II real-time strategy series finally has a release date. Relic Entertainment announced today that CoH3 will be released on November 17, 2022.

According to the press release, the game will feature four playable factions and two distinct campaigns at launch: the more open, dynamic Italian campaign and the focused, narrative-based North African operation.

These campaigns will also introduce players to new mechanics, including “side armor, enemy vehicle recovery, and vehicle towing to move hard-hitting artillery such as the German Flak 36 and British 17-Pounder “.

Although the game won’t be released until November, Relic Entertainment is already promoting its community feedback program, which will give players a chance to try out part of the campaign for the North African operation, which is called Mission Alpha. The mission, which is also available for free on Steam from today until July 19, follows the “Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) as they attempt to push the British back from their entrenched positions.”

If you can’t stand the wait, you can still watch the 2013 World War II movie Company of Heroes on Netflix, which was based on the games.
