iOS Port Adds Multiplayer Skirmish to Company of Heroes

Author:Kristen Update:Feb 22,2025

Company of Heroes, Relic Entertainment's acclaimed real-time strategy (RTS) game, ported by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode. Prepare for intense battles as you command factions inspired by World War II's iconic militaries.

While Relic Entertainment is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, many appreciate their WWII RTS, Company of Heroes. The original mobile version lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS Company of Heroes page proudly announces the arrival of Online Skirmish Mode in beta. Players can now engage in head-to-head combat, choosing from factions like the Americans and Germans, or the UK and Panzer Elite from the Opposing Fronts expansion.

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior units aren't a guaranteed win; tactical errors can quickly decimate your forces. A single misstep can leave infantry vulnerable or expose tank weaknesses.

A Hero's Return

I've always preferred AI opponents in RTS games, humbled by the skill and micromanagement of some human players. For those who missed this crucial feature in the polished iOS version, the addition of multiplayer is undoubtedly a momentous occasion.
