Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

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 holds a special place in many gamers' hearts for its Company of Heroes franchise. The original mobile port lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS version of Company of Heroes now boasts an online skirmish mode beta. Players can engage in strategic battles using factions inspired by real-world World War II militaries, including Americans, Germans, British (UK), and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).

Company of Heroes cleverly blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior unit cost doesn't guarantee victory; tactical errors can quickly decimate even the most powerful forces. A poorly positioned infantry squad or a tank with exposed rear armor can easily fall victim to enemy fire.

While some players might prefer the challenge of AI opponents, the addition of multiplayer is a significant boon for fans who've been waiting for this feature. The polished iOS port of this classic RTS is now even better.
