Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, Company of Heroes, brought to mobile by Feral Interactive, is finally getting the multiplayer feature many players have been clamoring for! A recent iOS beta introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode. Get ready to command iconic World War II factions and engage in intense online battles.

While Relic Entertainment is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many hold a special place in their hearts for the Company of Heroes WWII RTS. The original mobile version, released some time ago, lacked multiplayer—a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS Company of Heroes page proudly announces the arrival of Online Skirmish Mode as a beta feature. Players can now clash as various factions, including the Americans and Germans, and those from the Opposing Fronts expansion—the British and Panzer Elite.

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. It's not simply about fielding the most expensive units; tactical mistakes can quickly lead to devastating consequences, whether it's exposing infantry to fire or leaving tanks vulnerable.

While I personally preferred the AI challenge in Company of Heroes, due to the skill level of some human opponents, this multiplayer beta is fantastic news for those who've been waiting for this crucial feature in the polished iOS version.
