Award-winning tactical gameplay
In Company of Heroes 3, the next generation of acclaimed tactical gameplay awaits you. Popular combat mechanics and new authentic gameplay features result in the most comprehensive tactical gaming experience ever.

Use daring flanking actions to take the side armor of enemies under fire, drive enemy units out of their garrisons with brand new storm mechanics, and use height differences to your advantage to get better visibility and gain the upper hand.

A breathtaking new theatre of war
Welcome to the Mediterranean - an exciting new theatre of war full of hidden stories. Fight on Italian mountain passes, on stunning coastal panoramas and in the scorching heat of North Africa against brutal enemy units. The impressive graphics ensure authentic and highly varied environments in which you always have to be on your guard.

Maps with mountain areas require completely different strategies than coastal cities, as the vertical now has a great influence on the line of sight of units (True Sight). In desert plains, careful reconnaissance and bold maneuvers with armored units are required. On this new front line, brains are more important than speed. Use the terrain on the ground in a clever way to confuse your opponents and get the victory.

New strategic levels
Experience the largest single-player campaign in franchise history. The new dynamic campaign map offers comprehensive "sandbox-style" gameplay that allows players to command the overall bet and experience a whole new level of strategic decisions."

Build important supply lines before securing your advance with the deployment of troops. Carry out air and naval attacks to weaken and disperse enemy units, or liberate a city to build a spy network of partisans.

Choose your troops and upgrade your veteran companies according to your preferred gameplay. In addition, the "Complete Tactical Pause" feature allows complete control over the pace of the single-player action. Plan your attacks and effortlessly line up moves with deadly precision to give you an edge in battle.

Varied factions and units
Company of Heroes 3 will delight even the most ardent World War II enthusiasts thanks to the largest number of starting factions in the series to date." New army customization mechanics allow you to enlist the help of a variety of specialized units. Join the battle with new elite squads, including the American-Canadian Special Service Forces, the respected Gurkhas from the Commonwealth of Nations, and many more.

From devastating tank destroyers to stealth reconnaissance vehicles, Company of Heroes 3 features the largest number of units in the series to date. The enormously light Weasel, the armor-piercing rhinoceros and the Chaffee light tank are just some of the units that make their debut in this part. In addition, redesigned classics such as the half-track vehicle M3 are also included, which you can now use to repair abandoned vehicles of the opponent and take them to yourself!

Cinematic action
Relic's state-of-the-art Essence Engine lets you feel every scorching hot impact of mortar shells and naval bombardments. In Company of Heroes 3, each battlefield becomes a completely destructible sandbox, resulting in unlimited tactical options that you or your opponent can use.

Collapse fortified buildings over enemy troops and experience the optimized destruction mechanics as soldiers use the ruins as dynamic cover. The amazing new rendering and particle effect technology depicts fire, sand and smoke in unprecedented quality.

First-class new soldiers' animations, combined with the improved AI, bring realistic troop responses to the battlefield. Relic's new engine technology optimized for DirectX 12 and multi-core processors delivers cinematic action that can compete with many a Hollywood blockbuster.
