Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, is getting a major upgrade! Brought to mobile by Feral Interactive, the game now features the highly anticipated multiplayer mode, thanks to a recent iOS beta update.

Prepare for intense skirmishes as you command factions inspired by the iconic militaries of World War II. While Relic is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many hold a special place in their hearts for the original Company of Heroes and its World War II setting. The mobile version, initially released without multiplayer, is finally getting this crucial feature.

The iOS beta introduces Online Skirmish Mode, allowing players to battle it out using the American and German factions, along with the UK and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion.

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. It's not just about fielding the most expensive units; strategic thinking and precise maneuvers are essential to success. A single misstep can quickly lead to devastating losses, making each battle a tense and rewarding experience.

While some players might have preferred the challenge of AI opponents, the addition of multiplayer is a significant victory for fans who have been requesting this feature. For those who have enjoyed the polished mobile version, this news is undoubtedly cause for celebration.
