Relic Entertainment is self-publishing two Company of Heroes titles in 2026: a Definitive Edition of the original game and a roguelite spin-off, Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand, which launches July 30 on Steam.
Relic Entertainment has been active in 2026 with two Company of Heroes announcements, both self-published. The studio went independent in 2024, and these are its first releases since that change. In June, Relic and co-developer Blackbird Interactive announced Company of Heroes: Definitive Edition at the PC Gaming Show 2026. The package combines the 2006 original with its two expansions, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor, into one release. It adds visual upgrades, ultra-wide screen support, gameplay tweaks like vehicle reverse and automatic unit reinforcement, a new Ruthless A.I. difficulty level, and full 64-bit architecture. The Steam store page is live, but no release date has been set.
In July, Relic announced Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand, a standalone wave-based defense game with roguelite progression. It is a genre shift for the RTS franchise. The game launches July 30 on PC via Steam, supports 2-player co-op, and includes four factions, 36 boss types, and eight difficulty levels. Both titles are self-published by Relic, marking the studio's first independent projects since its 2024 separation from Sega.

Relic Entertainment, in co-development with Blackbird Interactive, announced Company of Heroes: Definitive Edition during the PC Gaming Show 2026 stream on June 8, 2026. The package combines the original 2006 World War II real-time strategy game with its two expansions, Opposing Fronts and Tales of Valor, into a single release. The Definitive Edition features visual upgrades including improved textures and lighting, HUD optimization for ultra-wide screens, and gameplay enhancements such as vehicle reverse operations, automatic unit reinforcement, and customizable hotkeys. A new highest difficulty level called Ruthless A.I. has been added. The game supports full 64-bit architecture for better stability on modern systems and is designed to be compatible with the large library of community-made mods from the past two decades. It includes three full campaigns, multiplayer and co-op for up to eight players, four factions, and over 50 maps. The release date has not been set, but the Steam store page is live and Japanese UI and subtitles are planned.
