Relic Entertainment and SEGA Europe Ltd. finally seem about to present in more detail Company of Heroes 3. We will even be able to play multiplayer!
At work on two of the most popular licenses that the real-time strategy game on PC can know, Relic Entertainment has been busy in recent months. A few weeks after the release of Age of Empires IV, however, the Canadian studio seems to want to talk about the second project, Company of Heroes 3, while the release still seems to be scheduled “during 2022”.
What playable content?
Before arriving at this launch that we hope will be successful, Relic Entertainment goes through the “multiplayer pre-alpha” box. The idea is to make the game accessible to as many people as possible via different multiplayer modes. As the press release explains, it's about allowing "players to travel through four Italian maps, playable in different game modes including Co-op vs AI, Competitive PvP and Skirmish vs AI".
The studio specifies that this pre-alpha offers "a complete overview of the strategic gameplay typical of the series as well as many new features: complete tactical break in skirmish mode, side armor of vehicles, verticality, battle groups and seniority are notably on the program".
Finally, Relic Entertainment and its partner SEGA Europe Ltd. specify that this first preview of the multiplayer game is limited to two factions, considered "emblematic of the series", the Wehrmacht and the US Forces. Of course, each has its specificities and the studio points out that other factions will be revealed “over time until the launch of Company of Heroes, which will offer more content than ever”.
How to access this pre-alpha?
The actual launch of this multiplayer pre-alpha phase of Company of Heroes 3 should not begin until tomorrow, Tuesday, November 30, at 18 p.m. The time that separates us from the launch should allow everyone to create an account on the COH-Development platform set up by the studio.
Relic Entertainment and SEGA Europe Ltd. point out that if you already have such an account and participated in the first pre-alpha, it is possible to go to its Steam library now to pre-load the multiplayer pre-alpha. For others, registration is free and only takes a few minutes. On the other hand, it is imperative to link your Steam account to this COH-Development account in order to make the gateway.
Whether the pre-loading launches tonight or it won't be available until tomorrow morning, you should be able to access the game when this multiplayer pre-alpha launches. Note that the event which, let's remember, will start at 18 p.m., must end on December 7 at 5 a.m. A good week to experience everything.
