Company of Heroes debuts multiplayer skirmish mode for iOS port

Company of Heroes, the acclaimed World War II RTS from Relic Entertainment and ported by Feral Interactive, is finally getting multiplayer! A recent iOS beta update introduces the highly anticipated skirmish mode.

Relic Entertainment, known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, also boasts the popular Company of Heroes franchise. The original mobile release lacked multiplayer, a significant omission now rectified.

The iOS Company of Heroes page confirms the arrival of online skirmish mode in beta. Players can now battle as various factions, including the Americans, Germans, British (UK), and Panzer Elite (from the Opposing Fronts expansion).

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic warfare with accessible RTS gameplay. Strategic thinking is paramount; superior units don't guarantee victory. A single tactical error can quickly decimate your forces.

For those who preferred the AI challenge, the addition of skilled human opponents might be daunting. However, this long-awaited feature is a significant win for iOS players.
