Previously, the only release date known for Company of Heroes 2 was March 12, 2013 (the same day as Blizzard's StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm). After the sale of developer Relic from the now defunct publisher THQ to SEGA, we'd heard next to nothing about when we'd finally get a chance to play the long-anticipated WW2-themed RTS.
Today that has changed.
SEGA and Relic have officially changed Company of Heroes 2's release date to June 25th. The press release doesn't get too specific about the reasons, other than stating, "Relic Entertainment is using the additional time to help Company of Heroes 2 meet the high standard set by its predecessor, the highest rated strategy game of all time." Executive Producer Jonathan Dowdeswell also added, "We hate to disappoint our fans with a later than expected date as we know they are eager to play but we feel the additional time will help the team deliver the high quality sequel they deserve."
On top of what we can all hope will be a much more polished game that might have otherwise been, Relic and SEGA are also planning a multiplayer Closed Beta, the details of which will be disclosed, "shortly."
