The new Company of Heroes is a wave-based defense game that throws prospective generals straight into the action

Back in June at the PC Gamer Show, Relic Entertainment announced Company of Heroes: Definitive Edition, a remake to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of its WW2 RTS that got our Jake Tucker very excited. But that’s not the only CoH game that Relic has cooking. Today the studio announced Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand, not an RTS but a “wave defense” game that pits players against escalating rounds of enemy attacks, with powerful bosses and “dynamic battlefield events.”

Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand is “built on the beloved tactical foundation” of the RTS games, but expands upon it with a roguelite progression system “that encourages experimentation, adaptation, and replayability.”
