Company of Heroes iOS Port Launches Multiplayer Skirmish Mode

Fans of the renowned real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, developed by Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, have reason to celebrate. The game, which was previously released on mobile without a multiplayer feature, is now rolling out a multiplayer mode in its latest iOS beta.

The exciting news comes from the iOS page for Company of Heroes, where the Online Skirmish Mode has been introduced as a beta feature. This addition allows players to engage in competitive battles with others, choosing from factions inspired by real-life World War Two militaries. Whether you prefer to command the Americans and Germans or opt for the UK and Panzer Elite factions from the Opposing Fronts expansion, the choice is yours.

Company of Heroes is celebrated for its unique blend of realistic warfare and engaging RTS gameplay. It's not just about deploying the most expensive units; strategic missteps can lead to devastating losses, such as infantry being decimated in open fields or tanks being critically damaged in their vulnerable spots.

While I personally enjoyed challenging the AI in RTS games due to the impressive skill levels of some human opponents, the addition of multiplayer to the polished iOS version of this classic is a significant milestone for fans who have been eagerly awaiting this feature.
