Company of Heroes iOS Port Adds Multiplayer Skirmish Mode

Company of Heroes, the acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, is now bringing the much-anticipated multiplayer experience to its mobile version. A recent iOS beta has introduced the highly-requested Skirmish Mode, allowing players to engage in thrilling battles as factions inspired by the real-life militaries of World War Two.

While Relic Entertainment is well-known for their Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, fans of their World War II RTS, Company of Heroes, have been eagerly awaiting this update. The original mobile release of the game was missing one crucial element: multiplayer. That gap is now being filled, and the iOS page for Company of Heroes proudly announces the debut of the Online Skirmish Mode as a beta feature. Players can now compete against each other, choosing from factions such as the Americans, Germans, the UK, and the Panzer Elite, all included in the Opposing Fronts expansion.

Company of Heroes is celebrated for its ability to blend realistic warfare with engaging RTS gameplay. It's not just about having the most powerful units; strategic missteps can lead to devastating losses, whether it's infantry being decimated in the open or a tank taking a hit in its vulnerable spots.

For those who prefer facing off against AI opponents, the game's complexity and the skill of some players in managing build orders and unit micromanagement can be overwhelming. However, for fans who have been missing this key feature in the polished iOS version of this RTS classic, the addition of multiplayer is a significant milestone.
