THQ has just put together a new video of Relic’s upcoming game Company of Heroes 2. For the first time ever, the video showcases some actual gameplay from the RTS, which is slated for an exclusive release on the PC in the coming year.
Company of Heroes 2 is set in 1941, the beginning of what will become the most brutal conflict of World War II, as Germany launches a full-scale invasion of the frozen tundra of the Soviet Union which would result in over 14 million military casualties.
In the game, players will take command of the iconic Soviet Red Army in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the invading Nazis. You’ll be encouraged to employ your strategic skills and tactical expertise to tip the balance of conflict.
Like its predecessor, the game offers a vast single-player campaign and a competitive online mode.
Company of Heroes 2 comes out early next year on the PC. There are no plans to bring the game to other platforms.
