Company of Heroes, the acclaimed World War II real-time strategy (RTS) game 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 is known for the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, but many also cherish their Company of Heroes franchise. The original mobile port 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 (featured in the Opposing Fronts expansion).

Company of Heroes masterfully blends realistic combat with accessible RTS gameplay. Superior units don't guarantee victory; tactical mistakes can quickly lead to devastating losses.

While some players excel at micromanagement and strategic build orders, this multiplayer addition is a welcome boon for those who preferred the AI challenge. For iOS players who missed this crucial element in the otherwise polished mobile version, this is exciting news.
