CoH debuts multiplayer for iOS

Company of Heroes, the acclaimed World War II real-time strategy (RTS) game from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode.

Relic Entertainment, known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, also boasts a beloved WWII RTS franchise in Company of Heroes. The mobile version, released some time ago, initially lacked multiplayer – a crucial element now added.

The iOS Company of Heroes page reveals the exciting news: online skirmish mode is available in beta. Players can now engage in head-to-head combat, commanding factions inspired by real-world WWII militaries, including Americans, Germans, British (UK), and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Strategic thinking is paramount; superior units don't guarantee victory. A single misstep can leave your troops vulnerable or your tanks exposed.

While I've always preferred facing AI opponents in RTS games due to the skill level of some human players, this addition is a significant win for fans who missed this key feature in the polished iOS port.
