Long held in the heart of RTS fans, Relic Entertainment's Company of Heroes has stood out for its fantastic World War II gameplay. Many know this developer for its acclaimed Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series and Homeworld, others love Company of Heroes for its strategic genius.

And so, mobile gamers have even more reason to cheer as the much-awaited Online Skirmish Mode finally arrives on iOS.

Multiplayer Arrives in the iOS Port of Company of Heroes

'Company of Heroes' iOS Port Launches Online Skirmish Mode:

When Company of Heroes jumped onto mobile devices, fans were excited—but one striking feature was missing: multiplayer. That left a gap for those who enjoyed the thrill of fighting live opponents. That gap is now filled with the beta release of Online Skirmish Mode, available to iOS users.

The gamers will now play iconic factions of Americans and Germans, or explore expanded UK and Panzer Elite factions of the Opposing Fronts expansion. All of this finally breathes some life into mobile.

The heart of Company of Heroes is a perfect fusion of tactical depth inherent in an RTS game with an interesting twist in its gameplay experience.

For all those who do not know, Company of Heroes stands out in the RTS genre for its extreme combination of realistic warfare and action-packed gameplay. Contrary to games that rely solely on producing the most expensive units, Company of Heroes rewards with tactical finesse.

• Strategic Positioning: One wrong move can lead to devastating consequences, such as infantry being caught in the open or a tank exposed to enemy fire at its rear.
• Resource Management: Resource management is extremely important, and one has to weigh every decision before making it as it can become a critical moment in the quest for success.

This balance between authenticity and accessible gameplay has made Company of Heroes an an all-time classic, and this multiplayer takes it to another notch.

Why Multiplayer Matters to Mobile RTS Enthusiasts

While for most RTS gamers nothing compares to playing against the human, AI opponents, though challenging, would be very lacking in the dynamic unpredictability and creativity of a real player on the battlefield. PocketGamer reports that the new Online Skirmish Mode allows gamers to challenge their strategies and skill level with others, providing an original and dynamic experience every time.

It will be tank battles, whether it is all out or by trying to outmaneuver with infantry, a new multiplayer mode that promises to open endless possibilities for the fan of the tactics.

Red-Letter Day for RTS fans on iOS.

It feels like a milestone moment for those who have been waiting for such an update. The iOS version of Company of Heroes, which was already polished, was one of the stand-out releases; the multiplayer mode completes the package.

How to Access the New Multiplayer Mode

The Online Skirmish Mode is currently a beta feature and is available to give players a taste of the multiplayer action before it becomes available to the general public. To access it:

1. Make sure to download the latest copy of Company of Heroes onto your iOS device.
2. Navigate the game's main menu for the Online Skirmish option.
3. Since it is still in the beta phase, expected releases will be based on feedback from gamers that will improve this multiplayer game further with time.

The birth of Online Skirmish Mode on iOS takes Company of Heroes from a well-crafted single-player experience to a full-fledged RTS masterpiece. Relic Entertainment has given fans a reason to revisit the battlefield, offering a chance to engage in strategic warfare against live opponents.
