You might recall months ago that THQ dropped a fairly significant bomb about the possibility of a Company of Heroes sequel in the next year or two. Well guess what RTS fans – it’s coming!

Company of Heroes 2 was revealed by the UK version of PC Gamer magazine and THQ has confirmed that the game is currently in development and is scheduled for release in 2013. Although we’re lacking any huge details about the game what we do know is that players will be commanding the forces of the Soviet Red Army as they attempt to stave off the German invasion of the Motherland. Relic Entertainment, developer of the original game and the Dawn of War series, says that there won’t be any significant overhauls or changes to the core gameplay but gamers can expect a different visual design alongside numerous other “fresh” additions.
