Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, is bringing the fight online! Brought to mobile by Feral Interactive, this World War II-themed classic is getting a highly anticipated multiplayer mode.

A recent iOS beta introduces the much-requested skirmish mode, letting you clash with other players as iconic factions inspired by real-world militaries of World War II. Whether you prefer the American and German forces, or the expanded British and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion, the battlefield awaits.

While Relic Entertainment is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, Company of Heroes holds a special place in many hearts. Its mobile release was initially missing a crucial element: multiplayer. Now, that's changed.

The iOS Company of Heroes page proudly announces the arrival of online skirmish mode as a beta feature. This addition allows players to test their strategic prowess against others, experiencing the game's unique blend of realistic warfare and accessible RTS gameplay. Company of Heroes masterfully balances the importance of unit cost with the consequences of tactical mistakes, making every decision crucial. A poorly positioned infantry squad or a vulnerable tank can quickly lead to devastating losses.

For those who preferred the AI challenge, the skill level of some human players might be a surprise. This beta launch is a significant event for fans who’ve been eagerly awaiting multiplayer in this polished mobile port.
