Company of Heroes 2 in store

Sega has announced that Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies is available in store and online.

Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies brings players back to the Western Front first introduced in the original Company of Heroes. The Western Front Armies introduces two collections of new content – the US Forces and the German Oberkommando West.

Each individual army will also be available as a standalone purchase via digital download, providing new players with a minimal entry point into the Company of Heroes 2 multiplayer community, regardless of which content they own. All Company of Heroes 2 players can then battle across 31 maps (along with more than 1000 community maps available on Steam Workshop) in auto-match multiplayer.

Oberkommando West

Battle-hardened and fielding some of the most impressive heavy armour, the technical prowess of Germany is on full display. The Oberkommando West is a devastating force equipped with a new generation of super-heavy tanks, repeatedly counterattacking the US Forces attempting to drive into the heart of Germany.

US Forces

Suffering from combat fatigue and spread out on enemy soil, US Forces have fought their way deep into Europe, driving back the German war machine. An army made of citizen soldiers: they have been pitted against a hardened professional military with over four years’ experience. Facing the best Germany has to offer, the US Forces fight desperately and viciously to expand the front lines.

Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies is developed by Relic Entertainment and available today for Windows PC. For more information on Company of Heroes 2, please see www.companyofheroes.com.
