Relic Games has shared some details in a new dev diary that shares details on how they have taken inspiration to make Company of Heroes 3 from historians, WWII documentaries, and from technical diaries from that time.
In a new video, Relic Games described how authenticity and realism have brought the battlefield to life.
Watch the latest dev diary video below:
Bigger and better than ever, Company of Heroes 3 combines heart-pounding combat with deeper strategic choices in a stunning Mediterranean theatre of war. In Company of Heroes 3, every battle tells a story…what’s yours?
The dev diary also talks about how the studio has also created a unique system called Paper Doll, where the in-game items are designed in a more modular way, so each outfit or tank can easily be customized to look different from one another, adding more authenticity.
In addition to the new system, the video also highlighted an in-depth perspective on how animations, armor, vehicles, and unit behaviors have advanced and how environments have changed in Company of Heroes 3. This is where the art director of the game Tristan Brett stated:
Units now really react to their environment, like when planes are flying overhead or when an enemy is close their stance will change, which really creates a living battlefield.
Company of Heroes 3 is going to launch on PC this year, but a release date nor a release window has been revealed as of yet by Relic Games. The game’s Pre-Alpha started back in December of 2021 where players got a first look into the game, getting access to online play and the multiple game modes that will be featured in the full game.
