The original Company of Heroes (along with its expansions) is coming to consoles for the first time thanks to the Nintendo Switch!
One of the great RTS games around is getting new life on the Nintendo Switch sometime in the near future. The release will mark the game’s first foray into consoles (the latest game in the series launched for PS5 and Xbox earlier this year), giving a new generation of players the chance to get in on the action.
Developed by Feral Interactive, the military masterpiece Company of Heroes will be launching on Nintendo Switch this autumn as a single collection containing the base game and both expansions.
Company of Heroes Collection marks the console debut of the game that redefined real-time strategy, bringing with it epic campaigns based on the liberation of France by Allied forces in World War II. From the daring beach assaults of D-Day and on into the Battle of Normandy, players will command both Allied and Axis forces in an action-packed offering which includes both the base game and its two expansions — Opposing Fronts™ and Tales of Valor™ — in one storming package.
With a bespoke user interface and controls designed for play on Nintendo Switch, the full battlefield will be under the player’s command. Intense tactical combat takes place across 41 squad-based missions, with moment-to-moment encounters shaping the course of each battle. A customisable Skirmish mode is also included, with unique factions, multiple game modes and a wealth of maps, offering enormous replay ability and rewarding bold experimentation.
No release date is set for the Nintendo Switch release of Company of Heroes Collection, but I’m hoping “soon” means sometime this year. Also, the game will feature multiplayer down the road, but will initially launch in single-player only mode.
