‘Company Of Heroes 2’ Unveils ‘Theatre Of War’ Mode

Company of Heroes 2 is getting closer and closer to official release and today the game’s developer unveiled a new game mode that will be coming along with the full version.

Sega issued a press release that detailed the new mode which has been dubbed the Theatre of War mode.

This new mode will allow the game developers to tell brand new stories in both single and multiplayer mode. The mode is basically built to be more difficult than the regular settings for the game.

The AI for the single player mode for the Theatre of War will also made decisions that you may not see from the AI when dealing with the game most people are playing right now.

Company of Heroes 2 will launch with this mode already built in and when you launch you will be able to choose one of two different armies. Set in 1941, you can either play as the Soviet Red Army or the German army.

After you choose which army you want to play as you will be able to play nine different missions that all involve major battles from that year. Sega says that more missions will be added to the mode in the future as well.

The lead producer of the game, Greg Wilsontalked about why they added this mode saying, “We get a lot of requests from fans to showcase specific conflicts from the war and it isn’t always possible to fit these into the campaign. Theatre of War gives us the opportunity to deliver these new gameplay experiences to our fans.”

The game’s director Quinn Duffy added that he thinks this mode is the perfect bridge between the single and multiplayer modes that are offered in the title.

Company of Heroes 2, complete with the Theatre of War mode has been in various beta stages but is finally being released on the PC on June 25.
