In the studio's session at EGX Rezzed today, the team said it was now adopting a 'games as a service' approach to development going forward, using data specialists to analyse player information that is then integrated into games creation. At the same time, it has never been easier for new players to get access to our vast multiplayer community. However, it differs from the previous minor DLC since it is a completely standalone add-on which does not require having the original game installed. “By offering Western Front focused content to Company of Heroes 2, we are giving players a brand new set of tactical options that significantly expand their multiplayer experience. The Western Front Armies is an expansion for the 2013’s Company of Heroes 2 for PC, a strategy game set during the World War II. “We know how much fans love the setting of the original game and we have responded to their request to revisit the Western Front,” said Relci's executive producer Greg Wilson. It also includes a new progression system.Īll Company of Heroes 2 players can access 31 maps and over 1000 community maps available on Steam Workshop through auto-match multiplayer, regardless of what content they already own. The Western Front Armies brings players back to the Western Front, which was first introduced in the original title and introduces two unique new content collections: the US Forces and the German Oberkommando West.Įach army has its own tactical gameplay options, new infantry, team weapons, vehicles, abilities and upgrades on a total of eight seasonal multiplayer maps set on the Western Front.

You do not need to own the original Company of Heroes 2 game as it's a stand alone title.
