Company of Heroes 3 Wiki
Developed by Relic Entertainment and published by Sega for Windows, Company of Heroes 3 is a real-time strategy game that serves as a sequel to Company of Heroes 2. Set in the Italian and North African theaters of World War II, the game introduces new mechanics and modes. The development of the game was led by Relic Entertainment, which formed a player council consisting of modders and competitive players during pre-production to determine the game's focus and setting. The Mediterranean theatre was eventually chosen due to its diverse environments and the inclusion of Italian areas that offer a broader palette for environmental gameplay.
The game was officially announced in July 2021, with player testing beginning prior to the announcement. A demo for the game was made available for a limited time after the announcement. The original release date was set for November 17, 2022, but it was eventually delayed to February 23, 2023. During The Game Awards 2022, console versions of the game were announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with a release date set for 2023. Additionally, the Polish toy company Cobi announced in August 2022 that they acquired a license to publish North Africa and Italy themed brick sets for the game.

General
Renamed the difficulty settings to make them more consistent and user-friendly.

Multiplayer Changes
Universal Changes
Light Indirect-Fire - Mortars
Medium Indirect-Fire - Pack Howitzer, LeIG, Heavy Mortar
Medium Indirect-Fire has been reworked to be better against static defenses, more accurate and have higher area of effect against infantry.
Smoke
Heavy Machine Guns
Factions
US Forces
We’ve noted that the US Forces are struggling in all modes, particularly in larger team games. These targeted fixes are to address certain units that were underpowered within the roster, reducing tech cost and making the faction more competitive in the mid game where it was faltering. More changes are coming to address some outstanding issues facing the US Forces.

British Forces
While doing better than the US Forces, the British Forces also struggles across modes and has more recently been heavily relying on Boys Antitank Rifles to keep up. We’re toning down the power of these weapons while bringing up to par many units in the roster that were under performing for their costs. Battlegroup units have received some love and will give Infantry Sections more competition.
