real-time strategy game as it focuses on the Eastern front of the war.<\/p>\n<p>Although teaser trailers tend feel like an announcement of an announcement and don&#8217;t really show gameplay, the video utilises animated stills, with some pretty dramatic music and narration, which should get PC gamers pumped to see some real in-game footage sometime soon.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

controlled soldiers see, leaving what may be behind the next building or treeline unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Company of Heroes 2 will follow up from the critically-acclaimed 2006 strategy game, which garnered a huge cult following from its release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompany of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology,\u201d said <a title=\"Greg Wilson\"
