Company of Heroes 3 release date has been delayed by three months.

Company of Heroes 3 will be out exclusively on PC via Steam.

On its official website, the studio has kept its community updated on all fronts of development — even adding a comment section for fans to react.

Dating back to the formation of a community council, three years ago, Relic Entertainment has kept top players from around the world in the loop, helping lay the foundation for the game.

With the aforementioned delay, Relic Entertainment has also detailed some much-requested changes to the game.
