Can we take a moment to appreciate how incredible 2024 has been for Company of Heroes 3? It feels like just yesterday that we were all buzzing about its launch. But here we are, and Relic has been on fire since becoming an independent studio! It’s not easy juggling everything, but they’ve nailed it with our favorite strategic war game. They’re super grateful for all our support. Honestly, So am I!
Heavy Tank Battlegroups
Now, let’s dive into what’s next because I’m practically bouncing in my seat! The team is working hard on new Heavy Tank Battlegroups set to roll out in late February 2025. Yes, you heard me right, heavy tanks are back in business! While they can’t spill too many beans, they’ve teased us with something to keep our anticipation simmering over the holidays.
So here’s the scoop: there will be FOUR shiny new Battlegroups, one for each faction, which is pretty epic if you ask me! These aren’t just your run-of-the-mill heavy tanks; much more lurks beneath the surface. Imagine strategies that could turn battles upside down with these beasts on your side.
And let’s get real, these bad boys will be available as a DLC pack on Steam when February rolls around. As far as pricing goes? Well, they haven’t locked that down yet, but stay tuned because I know they’ll have updates soon after the New Year celebrations wrap up.
Stealth & Stronghold
Let me ask if you’re wondering what else is brewing in the pot of Company of Heroes goodness! Changes are coming in how we access the Australian Defense (British Forces) and Battlefield Espionage (Deutsches Afrikakorps) battlegroups, currently available for free. When these were released initially, it was a sweet thank-you gift from Relic while improving things post-launch. Classy move on their part.
No need to panic, though; they’re still free… for now! With plans for a significant anniversary update in February 2025 looming ahead like an adorable puppy waiting for treats, you’ll want to claim those before they leave the store after March 21st. After that date? They’ll be bundled together under Stealth & Stronghold, priced at $13.99 on the Steam Store.
You definitely don’t want to miss grabbing them first if you haven’t already; hurry over to Company of Heroes 3’s in-game store ASAP before it’s too late—“quit yer lollygagging” indeed!
That wraps up what’s happening for 2024 folks, a year filled with surprises and upgrades galore! Happy Holidays from all of us here at ConsolePCGaming.com; we can’t wait to see what kind of mayhem awaits us come January!
