Relic Entertainment has announced the launch of the Open Beta for Company of Heroes 2, which goes live later today and run until June 18.
The open beta will feature its multiplayer mode, giving players a chance to experience both competitive and cooperative gameplay on six of its maps. Additionally, the open beta will also allow players to test out the first 45 levels of the game's progression and bulletin system, both of which are slated to make it into—and be a large part of the final game when it comes out on June 25 for the PC.
Speaking in a press release, Greg Wilson, producer of Company of Heroes 2 commented, "We have been working hard since the Closed Beta balancing and improving all areas of the game as well as adding new matchmaking servers. COH2 has had one of the most successful Beta programs we've ever run at Relic and the support of the fans has been a critical factor in making the game more balanced and stable for launch."
As an added incentive for players to partake in the beta, players will retain all of their progression and unlocks earned during this period if they purchased the game within the first 60 days of launch and play it on the same Steam account.
