The largest and bloodiest battle of World War 2, the Battle of the Bulge, is headed to the PC today under the guise of Company of Heroes 2: Ardennes Assault!
Ardennes Assault is a standalole Company of Heroes 2 experience, meaning you won't need to own Company of Heroes 2 in order to play it. The game will be bringing new scenarios, new companies, customization and more!
SEGA offered a brief and concise look at what Ardennes Assault will be bringing:
- 18 new scenarios: Engage in a dynamic campaign across the Ardennes landscape consisting of 11 missions and 7 engagements inspired by the events of the Battle of the Bulge. The campaign progresses with dynamic bonus objectives that change on different playthroughs, giving more replay options than ever before.
- Three iconic Companies: Take command of the versatile Airborne unit, the relentless Mechanized Infantry and the heavy hitting Support unit and choose which one to deploy for each mission. Each Company is under the authority of a different Officer; each with their own distinct style, perspective and abilities.
- Results that matter: Take care with your strategic decisions, as results and overall Company health persists between missions. Veterancy earned can help increase an entire Company's effectiveness, while lost units are a hit to the Company's overall health. Fail to manage resources well and you risk losing a Company for good. The decisions you make will ultimately shape the outcome of your battle!
- Customization: Customize each of your Companies' four unique Abilities with up to six selectable upgrades. The unique skill tree offers 72 levels of improvement allowing players to specialize their commanders throughout the course of the campaign.
