THE BRITISH ARE COMING!! SEGA ANNOUNCES COMPANY OF HEROES 2: THE BRITISH FORCES

Standalone Multiplayer Army Pack Enhances the Depth of Company of Heroes 2 

SAN FRANCISCO & LONDON – July 9, 2015 –SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. today announced Company of Heroes® 2: The British Forces from Relic Entertainment™ – an all-new standalone multiplayer army pack launching September 3, 2015 for $12.99, £9.99, €12.99. The British Forces features 15 new units, six new commanders with unique abilities and a total of eight new multiplayer maps portraying historic battlefield locations representing the shattered infrastructure seen throughout Europe at the end of World War II.

An authentic representation of the British army, The British Forces brings to life the iconic vehicles, weapons and multicultural makeup of World War II’s longest standing Allied force. The portrayal of the British army also extends to how their fighting style was implemented into the overall game design.  With a military tactical doctrine that balanced mobility and defense, The British Forces gives players a choice in how they progress through the tech tree. They can either follow an ‘anvil’ approach by adopting powerful defensive positions through the use of emplacements or they can take an aggressive ‘hammer’ approach by using fast, hard-hitting units to wreak havoc on the battlefield. 

Additionally, coinciding with The British Forces’ release, every title in the Company of Heroes 2 catalogue will receive a major design upgrade that will greatly improve the overall balance of all five factions featured in Company of Heroes 2. The game also features animation and visual improvements to most infantry units in the game, which further increase the authenticity of Company of Heroes 2.

“The British Army has been one of the most requested factions since we first announced Company of Heroes 2 three years ago. The British were a major player in WWII and we are excited to bring their unique makeup and overall tactical doctrine to the Company of Heroes 2 battlefield,” said Greg Wilson, Executive Producer at Relic Entertainment. “Finally, every player – whether they are new to the franchise or a long standing fan – can play The British Forces and have a compelling multiplayer experience with an army that can certainly go toe-to-toe with every other faction in the game.”

The British Forces will be available from September 3, 2015 as a stand-alone package that is the perfect entry point into the vibrant Company of Heroes 2 community. New players will also have access to all pre-existing Company of Heroes 2 maps via auto-match as well as the ability to battle against all other existing factions.

The Galaxy of Trian strategy board game was originally funded through Kickstarter raising $130,396 over a thirty day crowdfunding campaign. In Other Games’s digital incarnation, players select from one of four races and play against others as they stake claim over undiscovered areas of the galaxy. 

In Galaxy of Trian players face series of battles competing for galactic supremacy. The single player game mode includes custom matches against AI and a full campaign mode. For multiplayer players can engage hot-seat mode, where players all take turns sharing one device. Online play is also available via server mode; players can play against friends or use matchmaking to challenge other players of a similar level and see who is the best strategist!

Taking into consideration the deeply strategy driven audience, additional planned features include a complex ranking system and match-making battles.

Aside from the rewards, it is a good way to bring players together and increase activity within the guild. Guild Instances are created from multiple chapters and stages. The daily target is set by the leader or vice leader of the guild a day in advance. Players get a reward with each challenge. Once the daily target is reached, each player gets to choose a treasure chest to open that contains a random reward.

When the player accesses the Ancient Arena, the game will automatically distribute 3 heroes and 3 angels with the highest BR in 3 separate teams, then the player will have the option to complete the rest of the formation with 1 click. This formation will be the player’s defensive formation. The player can alter formation according to the opponent’s team set up.

Finally, 7 new heroes and 2 new angels are included and more will be available regularly.
