Company of Heroes 2 is an RTS game that moves the battle away from the common Western Front focus of World War II and refocuses on some of history’s most brutal and devastating conflicts on the Eastern Front.

It is 1941 and the beginning of what will become the most brutal conflict of World War II, as Germany launches a full-scale invasion of the frozen tundra of the Soviet Union which would result in over 14 million military casualties. Take command of the iconic Soviet Red Army in brutal frontline warfare to free Mother Russia from the invading Nazis.

Your strategic skills and tactical expertise hold the power to tip the very balance of this conflict in the sequel to the critically acclaimed and multi award-winning Company of Heroes. Engage in visceral tactical combat that will define you as a military leader and challenge you to wield the might of the Soviet Empire as you smash your way to Berlin.

SEGA and Relic Entertainment are delighted to announce that the critically acclaimed World War II real-time strategy game, Company of Heroes 2, is free to download and keep via Steam from November 15 - 17.

Additionally, the entire Company of Heroes (COH) franchise, including major standalone COH2 expansions such as 'The British Forces' and 'Ardennes Assault', is now 75% off until November 24 at 10 AM PST.
