Company of Heroes 2 Goes Personal in Singleplayer Trailer

A surprising new story trailer has been released for Company of Heroes 2, introducing the characters of the real-time strategy game for the PC. The trailer depicts the views of a war-weary Russian soldier in a theatre of war deemed as the largest and most brutal in human history.

In light of all the multiplayer coverage Relic has showcased over the last few months, we almost forgot they make some damn good singleplayer stories too as we saw in its predecessor and the Dawn of War series.

Set in 1941, Company of Heroes 2 covers the rarely depicted Eastern Front of World War II as Nazi Germany launches Operation Barbarossa upon the Soviet Union, which saw well over 14 million military casualties after four years of fighting.

Check out the trailer below for a first glimpse of the game’s campaign. Come June 25, we’ll see whether they can provide a worthy, personal perspective of a Soviet Red Army soldier in a cold and pragmatic conflict.

SEGA have recently unveiled a Red Star Edition of the game, containing extra digital content, available to pre-order now.

NeocoreGames has just announced that The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is out for PC via Steam at the small price of $14.99. What can you expect? Well, those that can attest to Diablo III’s gameplay can certainly relate to that of Van Helsing‘s. Interactive environments with a wide range of mystical enemy variations are the regular occurrences of the gothic-noir title. Bram Stoker’s Dracula might be even jealous of this storyline…

Here are some of the key features:

Detailed level-up system – Players are able to spend points on hit points, mana, damage, and much more as they traverse through skill trees to mold Van Helsing to their liking.
Hunter’s Lair – A central hub for players to stash collected loot, trade with non-playable characters, accept new quests from allies who join the resistance against the scientific scourge, teleport between locations, and utilize the alchemy lab.
Tower-defense mini-game – When the Hunter’s Lair is attacked by enemies, players have the opportunity to defend their home with deployable traps and several upgradable functions to ward off evil.
Rage system – Enabling players to have up to three active skill modifiers called PowerUps, players have the ability to charge their PowerUps by way of spending Rage points collected from impressive feats.
Unique companion system – Lady Katarina, a ghost with snappy wit, comes to the support of Van Helsing with her own set of abilities, behaviors, and skill tree.

Take a look at the launch trailer below as well as our own preview for the title (here). Remember the title is only – $14.99 (perhaps $13.49 if you are lucky)!
