Relic has just announced their latest expansion for their RTS franchise titled Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces.
Relic say that the player will have access to a unique tech tree that allows them to pick between a more mobile or defensive play style. In total, there will be 15 new units, six new commanders with new abilities, and eight new multiplayer maps that recap historical battlefields throughout Europe towards the end of World War II.
“The British Army has been one of the most requested factions since we first announced Company of Heroes 2 three years ago. The British were a major player in WWII, and we are excited to bring their unique makeup and overall tactical doctrine to the Company of Heroes 2 battlefield,” said Greg Wilson, executive producer at Vancouver-based Relic Entertainment, in a press release.
“Finally, every player — whether they are new to the franchise or a long standing fan — can play The British Forces and have a compelling multiplayer experience with an army that can certainly go toe-to-toe with every other faction in the game.”
The expansion will be a stand alone and will be released on Steam September 3rd (Fun Fact: September 3rd was the day that the British declared war on Germany in World War 2). It will cost $12.99 in the United States, £9.99 in the United Kingdom, and €12.99 in Europe.
