February 2023
There’s been so much Company of Heroes news in the last couple months, we knew we had to recap it all and showcase some of the amazing content our players have been creating! With CoH3’s launch approaching fast this month on February 23rd and the Multiplayer Tech Test behind us, we’re not going to waste anymore time. Let’s get into it!NEWS
Multiplayer Tech Test
Our final public test of Company of Heroes 3 concluded in January, and we want to thank all 154,000 players who took part! This last push allowed us to iron out any remaining technical issues before launch and it was a great opportunity for our team to get a head start on your feedback. You can find all the details here, along with the results of our testing and an outline of how we plan to tackle your top points of feedback. You can also check out our video recap!
