Relic will turn the legendary Company of Heroes franchise into a roguelite

Relic Entertainment has announced that its iconic Company of Heroes franchise will be getting a new installment. Set in the Second World War and called Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand, it will be a standalone title from Company of Heroes 3, venturing into the territory of one of the most popular genres right now: the roguelite.

Roguelite goes with everything

Playable solo or in two-player co-op, the aim will be to survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies. With up to twelve waves, between them we’ll be able to choose units and abilities that will stay with us until the end of the run. With progression systems between runs, such as perks and unique abilities for each faction —the factions this time being the United States, Wehrmacht, Great Britain, and Afrikakorps—, the game will come packed with content.

Relic Entertainment’s recent history has been one of successes. Having gone independent from Sega in March 2024, they released their successful Company of Heroes 3 on February 23, 2023, and self-published their first turn-based strategy game on October 29, 2025: the interesting Earth vs. Mars.

Set for release next July 29, Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand will look to liven up the summer for strategy fans by giving the genre a slightly more contemporary twist. Whether it’ll work or not remains to be seen, since the last time Relic tried to do something similar it was an absolute failure, as the case of Dawn of War 3 showed, but given the success of roguelites in recent times, it’s not out of the question that this Final Stand could be an unexpected hit with critics and audiences.
