Company of Heroes 2: The Fight for the Eastern Front

Experience the brutal reality of World War II’s deadliest conflict. Company of Heroes 2 is the critically acclaimed real-time strategy game that transports you to the unforgiving Eastern Front. Powered by the proprietary Essence 3.0 Engine, this is not just a game of tactics, but a game of survival.

Command the iconic Soviet Red Army in a desperate campaign to free Mother Russia from the invading German forces. Your journey will take you from the brink of defeat during Operation Barbarossa to the triumphant, hard-won victory at the Battle of Berlin. This is warfare defined by brutal conditions, desperate measures, and unparalleled strategic depth.

Brutal New Mechanics, Deeper Strategy

Company of Heroes 2 introduces game-changing tactical features that redefine RTS gameplay:

• The “Frostbite” System: The Soviet winter is your deadliest enemy. In a dynamic weather system, your soldiers can freeze to death in bitter snowstorms. You must manage their warmth by building fires, garrisoning buildings, and using vehicles for shelter.
• TrueSight™ System: A revolutionary line-of-sight mechanic. Units can only see what is realistically in their field of vision. This makes ambushes, scouting, and flanking more crucial than ever before.
• Dynamic Cover & Combat: Utilize the tactical cover system to protect your troops. Every firefight is a high-stakes encounter where smart positioning and combined arms (infantry, vehicles, and support weapons) are the keys to victory.

A Gritty, Cinematic Campaign

Experience the story of the Eastern Front through the eyes of a Soviet lieutenant, Lev Abramovich Isakovich, who is interrogated in a gulag after the war. Relive his harrowing experiences in a gritty, cinematic narrative that showcases the sacrifices and brutality of the war, including the infamous “Order 227: Not one step back!”

Intense Multiplayer & Co-op

Take the fight online with a robust multiplayer component:

• Competitive Multiplayer: Choose your army (Soviet or German in the base game, with more available in expansions) and battle other players in intense, skill-based matches.
• Theater of War: Team up with a friend in co-operative mode or tackle challenging single-player scenarios that offer unique “what-if” battles from the war.
