The third part of the classic war strategy game Company of Heroes 3 was announced early last year, 8 years after the release of the last part.
The announcement stated that the game would be released only on the PC platform. This was normal because the first and second parts, along with all the other additions that were released to the game, had not previously been released on home consoles, current or previous.
However, it appears that the strategic game is also on its way to the home platforms PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, after the game's age rating was monitored by Taiwanese regulators on the aforementioned consoles, in addition to the PC platform.
The new third installment in the Company of Heroes series was originally scheduled to release on November 17, but publisher Sega announced last month that the game would be delayed to February 23, 2023. Which makes sense now that the developer likely needs more time to release the game on home platforms.
Sega confirmed in a statement that developer Relic needs more time to work on overall improvements, balance, and fine-tuning for Company of Heroes 3. This is to ensure players' expectations are met and that they deliver the deepest tactical experience in the series to date.
More about the game:
The events of the third part of the game will take us this time to the basin The Mediterranean Sea. And different regions like the Alps in Italy, coastal places and many deserts in North Africa that You'll fight in bloody battles during the Allied invasion of Italy. You'll play as armies like the United States and Great Britain on one side, and Commonwealth forces with the Italian resistance, the Germans, and the main Italian forces on the other, as the development team has claimed it's the largest story in the series' history.
It's worth noting that the development team, Relic Entertainment Studio, sought out interviews with historians, drawing inspiration from their experiences and writings as witnesses to the era. They also watched numerous documentaries about World War II and read technical diaries from the period.
