Following the leaked magazine images which revealed that a Company of Heroes sequel was in existence, THQ have come out and officially announced Company of Heroes 2 for early 2013.
“Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology,” said Greg Wilson, producer at Relic. “While retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success.”
The sequel will feature a new campaign following the battles across the Eastern Front of Europe in World War II, a new Essence 3.0 Engine, and a ‘True Sight’ game mechanic, in which players will only be able to see what their controlled soldiers see, leaving what may be behind the next building or treeline unknown.
Company of Heroes 2 will follow up from the critically-acclaimed 2006 strategy game, which garnered a huge cult following from its release.
The game won’t make a showing at E3, but expect some more information regarding the sequel within the coming months.
