Company of Heroes 2: The Western Front Armies rolls out on June 24
Would-be generals will soon have a less expensive route to joining the virtual World War 2 battlefields of Company of Heroes 2, thanks to the June 24 release of The Western Front Armies.
As we explained last month, The Western Front Armies is a standalone addition to Company of Heroes 2 that both introduces new content and allows those without a copy of Company of Heroes 2 to enjoy its multiplayer component. Along with transporting players to the titular Western Front, the addition introduces two new armies: the US Forces and the German Oberkommando West. Additionally, The Western Front Armies includes eight new multiplayer maps, as well as an "extended progression system" that should introduce a few new tricks to the existing Company of Heroes 2 factions.
The Western Front Armies is currently available for pre-order at a price of $20. Those who already own Company of Heroes 2 will be pleased to hear that both the US Forces and German Oberkommando West will be available for purchase as individual DLC additions.
