Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces announced

SEGA and Relic Entertainment have announced Company of Heroes 2: The British Forces, a new standalone multiplayer army pack launching September 3, 2015.

Priced at $12.99 / £9.99 / €12.99, the British Forces features 15 new units, six new commanders with unique abilities and a total of eight new multiplayer maps portraying historic battlefield locations seen throughout Europe at the end of World War II. Players can pre-order the game on Steam to receive a 10% discount. Owners of any Company of Heroes game will receive a 20% discount.

The British Forces promises iconic vehicles, weapons and multicultural makeup of World War II’s longest standing Allied force. The portrayal of the British army also extends to how their fighting style was implemented into the overall game design. With a military tactical doctrine that balanced mobility and defense, The British Forces gives players a choice in how they progress through the tech tree. They can either follow an ‘anvil’ approach by adopting powerful defensive positions through the use of emplacements or they can take an aggressive ‘hammer’ approach by using fast, hard-hitting units.

Additionally, coinciding with The British Forces’ release, every title in the Company of Heroes 2 catalogue will receive a design upgrade that will improve the overall balance of all five factions featured in Company of Heroes 2. The game also features animation and visual improvements to most infantry units in the game.

The British Forces expansion will be available on September 3, 2015 as a stand-alone package. New players will also have access to all pre-existing Company of Heroes 2 maps via auto-match as well as the ability to battle against all other existing factions.
