Relic’s strategy game Company of Heroes, the third instalment, recently surprised the audience by announcing a promising campaign mode.

The Company of Heroes series is one of the industry’s excellent references for strategy game lovers, and the third instalment takes it a step further by allowing you to become a World War II general for the first time. Relic Entertainment’s new RTS has released a short gameplay video of the pre-alpha version of the game, showing the terrain destruction system in action.

The video, shared by DSOG, shows a squad of infantrymen destroying a large building with a thorough job. You can see the building gradually taking damage as debris spills out of it, losing integrity until it finally becomes a pile of rubble. The game uses Essence Engine 5, the latest version of the engine developed by Relic.

Relic continues to share its progress on the highly anticipated game in its development diaries, focusing on the community and its needs to move forward hand-in-hand with players.
