Company of Heroes iOS: Multiplayer Skirmish Now Live

Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, brought to mobile by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode. Get ready to command factions inspired by the iconic militaries of World War II.

While Relic Entertainment is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many fondly remember their WWII RTS classic, Company of Heroes. The original mobile version launched without multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS Company of Heroes page proudly announces the arrival of online skirmish mode as a beta feature. Players can now battle it out using the American and German factions, or expand their options with the British and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion.

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior units don't guarantee victory; strategic mistakes can quickly lead to devastating losses. A single ill-advised maneuver can leave your infantry vulnerable or your tank exposed.

I've always preferred facing AI in RTS games, often overwhelmed by the skill and precision of some human opponents. For those who missed this crucial feature in the polished iOS release, the addition of multiplayer is undoubtedly a momentous occasion.
