Company of Heroes 3 Coming to Steam November 17th, Pre-order Now to Receive Bonus Items at Launch!

Relic Entertainment, Inc and SEGA Europe Limited are excited to announce that Company of Heroes 3, the next instalment in the beloved RTS franchise, releases on PC via Steam on November 17th, 2022. Company of Heroes 3 will bring fans and newcomers to the series with the biggest and deepest single player experience in the franchise's history. CoH3 will offer four playable factions at launch and two unique single-player experiences, with the Italian Dynamic Campaign and the North African Operation.

Those eager to get their hands on Company of Heroes 3 won't have to wait until November to play it. Head over to CompanyOfHeroes.com now and sign up for Relic's community feedback program, COH-Development, to gain access to one mission from the newly revealed North African Operation. Players can try out the Mission Alpha and take command of the infamous Deutsches Afrikakorps (DAK) as they attempt to repel the British from their entrenched positions. The Mission Alpha is free to play on Steam for one week from Tuesday July 12 to July 19.
While the previously announced Italian Dynamic Campaign offers a branching, open-ended experience, the North African Operation is a more classically designed, narrative-led single-player experience. A wealth of new mechanics has drastically changed the battlefield in North Africa, where tank-riding enables coordinated rapid-strike assaults that overwhelm the enemy. Powerful Italian units can be called upon in Mission Alpha, such as the Guastatori combat engineers and the L6/40 Light Tank. Players can also enjoy new core gameplay innovations like side armour, enemy vehicle recovery and vehicle-towing, which lets you reposition your hard-hitting artillery like the German Flak 36 and British 17-Pounder.

Pre-order offer
Players can pre-order Company of Heroes 3 at CompanyOfHeroes.com and receive some awesome bonus items at launch. The Digital Premium Edition comes with the Devil's Brigade DLC Pack, containing cosmetics based on the first elite commando units of World War II. The Physical Premium Edition includes the Devil's Brigade DLC Pack, Service Medal, Pocket Compass, Collector's Book and much more. Both the physical and digital Premium editions will give players access to CoH3's first expansion - coming to Steam in 2023. A full breakdown of all available pre-order content can be found on CompanyOfHeroes.com.

Mission Alpha Access
Players that have installed any of the previous two Pre-Alpha builds will see the Mission Alpha automatically appear in their Steam Library. New players can sign up to CoH-Development and follow the instructions on the website to gain access to Mission Alpha and provide important feedback about CoH3 to the Relic development team.

It seems it has Denuvo DRM, so I will simply add it to the list of games I will never purchase or install, pity...

Relic will probably remove Denuvo after a while. I thoroughly dislike Denuvo too but if they remove that parasite from the game then I may pick it up. Assuming it's a good game but we don't know yet.

I think it is still on all the Warhammer titles, but I'm not sure if that is down to Sega or Creative Assembly, so I am not sure if Relic or Sega are to blame in this case. In any event, I agree 100%, I would probably pick this up, but wouldn't even consider it with Denuvo.

Buy now? No chance!

If you want the bonus items buy it an hour (just to be on the safe side) before the game launches. Pre-order-bonuses tend to be there until the game is released and sometimes (not very common though) even some time after the release. I would prefer having the option to buy pre-order items after release rather than having to buy a pig in a poke. In a time where buyers are used as free-of-cost beta-testers and games that seem to have never seen QA in their development process pre-order is almost like playing Russian Roulette these days.

After DoW3 I'm a bit suspicious of relic entertainment. That game was a shame and dead even before a DLC was released.

Wouldn't be much of a pre-order exclusive then, would it? It is about the psychological factor, fear of missing out. Doesn't really matter what they offer in terms of value as a bonus. The simple fact that you won't get it after release, generates additional sales from people that are susceptible to such tactics.

Is it a demo with strings attached? Doing their QA for free is only slightly less insulting than paying to do it.

Yep, back in the days you where proudly running around on release day with your preorder perks & having a blast.

Nowadays I would feel like it's a badge of moron, with all the broken, unfinished & agenda butchered AAA games.
I am looking at you, Battlefail 2042 preorder sheeple. :cool:

Never preorder. Ignore the professional review shills. Watch live gameplay on Twitch & reviews from critical Youtubers.
