Feral Interactive have announced that Relic Entertainment’s Company of Heroes 3 is coming to macOS this December, bringing a new generation of real-time strategy to the platform.
Company of Heroes 3 brings the series to new frontlines, with intense fighting and explosive skirmishes playing out across the Mediterranean theatre of World War II. The sun-drenched scenery of southern Italy and the arid North African front showcase breathtaking visuals and challenging environments that demand an unprecedented level of tactical awareness.
Across two unique single-player campaigns, players command both Allied and Axis forces, each offering a contrasting style of land warfare. The Italian Campaign’s coastal towns and winding mountain passes dictate the shape of battle, with the terrain hindering the Allies’ fight to liberate the peninsula from German occupation. The North African Operation offers a distinctly different test, as the Deutsches Afrikakorps use careful reconnaissance and daring armored vehicle manoeuvres to bewilder their enemies in environments where intelligence trumps speed.
Company of Heroes 3’s Dynamic Campaign Map adds further layers of strategy between real-time skirmishes; before engaging the enemy, players must establish vital supply lines and spy networks, as well as organising strikes from the air and sea. On the ground, artillery and tanks may be used to devastating effect to bring buildings crashing down onto enemy squads, and provide fresh ruins for dynamic cover. Advanced rendering and particle FX technology depict the fire, sand and smoke of every bombardment as players direct their forces to victory.
In addition to the campaigns, a massively replayable Skirmish mode allows players to experiment with each faction against AI opponents offline, or take the fight online with up to seven others on macOS. Each faction’s three Battlegroups allow players to customise their approach with specialist abilities and elite units, with further variety available via five Battlegroup DLCs that unlock more abilities, units, vehicles and weapons. Final Stand will also be available to purchase on macOS, offering a standalone wave defense mode that can be played solo or co-op, and does not require ownership of Company of Heroes 3 to play.
The macOS release will also incorporate all changes from Relic’s huge 3.0 Update on Windows, detailed here, as well as support for the forthcoming Operation Torch DLC, which launches on Windows on November 25th.
Company of Heroes 3 and all its DLC will release for macOS via Steam this December. A Mac App Store release will follow in early 2027.
