Relic Entertainment has officially announced Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand, a brand-new standalone wave defence experience set to launch on PC via Steam on 29 July 2026. Merging the franchise's signature tactical combat with modern roguelite elements, the fast-paced title allows players to test their strategic grit either solo or in cooperative mode.
The upcoming release invites players to select from four iconic military factions: US Forces, Wehrmacht, British Forces, or the Deutsches Afrikakorps. Each faction features distinct strategies, abilities, and tailored progression trees. Across 12 increasingly challenging rounds, players must construct layered defences and adapt to escalating enemy assaults. The game introduces 36 unique boss units equipped with special abilities, 18 dynamic in-game events, and eight distinct difficulty levels ranging from newcomer to seasoned veteran. For commanders seeking the ultimate test of survival, a dedicated Endless Mode will also be available.
Because Final Stand is a fully standalone product, newcomers can jump straight into the action without owning any prior entries in the series. The strategic spin-off will retail at £23.99 GBP ($29.99 USD / €28.99 EUR), with a 10% discount active during the initial launch window. Furthermore, existing owners of the core Company of Heroes 3 game will be eligible for an additional 20% bundle discount on Steam. Alongside the core gameplay features, the package unlocks four premium faction skin packs and features brand-new announcer voiceover performances to bring the battlefield to life.
This major product announcement arrives at a historic milestone for the franchise, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of the original Company of Heroes release. Relic Entertainment is celebrating two decades of genre-defining real-time strategy games with multiple initiatives, including the recently unveiled Company of Heroes - Definitive Edition. The studio has confirmed that fans can look forward to continuous support, regular updates, and fresh content across the entirety of the franchise, with more specific gameplay details for Final Stand scheduled to be shared in the coming weeks.
