THQ and Relic Entertainment have revealed an entirely new debut trailer for their upcoming title “Comapany of Heroes 2” that provides further details about the new game.
According to the game’s official page, “Company of Heroes 2 takes the fight to the snow-filled fields of the Eastern Front as players command the Soviet Red Army during the World’s darkest hour. It is the year 1941, and the forces of Germany have just begun Operation Barbarossa, as they push East to conquer Russia in what would become the costliest conflict of the war. It is up to you, commander of the Russian Red Army, to push back the Nazi invaders and free Mother Russia.”
The new game, as per reports, will utilize Relic Entertainment’s state of the art Essence 3.0 Engine to offer new technological advancements to the strategy genre in the form of inventive Dynamic Battle Tactics, increased graphical fidelity and new environmental destruction, along with the unprecedented new TrueSight.
As per Danny Bilson, Executive Vice President of Core Games, “We are excited to announce a sequel to one of THQ’s best loved properties. Company of Heroes 2 will deliver an amazing strategy experience along with a strong post-launch digital content plan that enhances and expands the product’s lifecycle.”
“Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology while retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success,” said Greg Wilson, Producer at Relic Entertainment.
“Company of Heroes 2” is currently planned for a 2013 release, exclusively on the PC.
