Relic Entertainment has announced Company of Heroes 3: Endure & Defy, a major new Battlegroup DLC set to launch on PC via Steam on November 27, 2025. Priced at $24.99 USD, the expansion introduces four new, highly distinct Battlegroups—one for each existing faction—designed to dramatically shake up Multiplayer and Co-Op/Skirmish gameplay.
For a limited time, the DLC will be available with a 10% launch discount, while new players can jump into the battle with a 60% Black Friday discount on the Company of Heroes 3 base game.
New Units, Iconic Favorites, and Sabotage
The Endure & Defy expansion emphasizes asymmetrical warfare and innovative new mechanics. Each Battlegroup introduces powerful new units, franchise favorites, and unique abilities that demand entirely new playstyles:
US Forces – Italian Partisan Battlegroup: This group focuses on cunning, deception, and sabotage. Players deploy daring Partisan forces and Saboteurs to wreak havoc behind enemy lines using tunnel networks, resource siphoning, and underground detonations to destabilize the opposition.
Wehrmacht – Last Stand Battlegroup: Victory comes at any cost for this faction, which utilizes powerful improvised defenses and extraordinary measures. Players can repel the Allied advance with the new Borgward Wanze and imposing Pantherturm, supported by final battle directives and morale-breaking Propaganda Towers.
British Forces – Polish Cavalry Battlegroup: Seeking revenge, these grizzled Polish troops rely on devastating heavy weaponry. They utilize elite Polish Lancer Sections to lead the charge, while Polish-crewed Sherman Fireflies and Land Mattresses demolish enemy armor and positions with frightening efficiency, particularly thriving against veteran foes.
Deutsches Afrikakorps – Kriegsmarine Battlegroup: Bringing the might of the German Navy to bear, this group focuses on fortification and catastrophic fire support. Kriegsmarine infantry provides combat flexibility, establishing Hardpoints for vital supply chains and calling in Stuka Bombers, Fritz Glide-bombs, and devastating Naval salvos to annihilate enemies.
Relic Entertainment plans to release more detailed information about the new Battlegroups in the coming weeks ahead of the November 27th launch.
