Company of Heroes 3's Operation Torch DLC ships off to North Africa in November, for new missions based around the Allied landings

Relic Entertainment, creators of the popular Company of Heroes 3, have announced a new single-player campaign DLC for the game set during the historic Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942. Titled Operation Torch, the DLC will feature 15 missions that recount the joint British and American efforts to invade Vichy France-controlled Algeria and Morocco.

Players will command American forces through a series of challenging encounters, from urban tank battles to stealth operations. The campaign will cover key events like the opening invasion, the defeat at Kasserine, and the final assault on Hill 609. Players will take on the roles of three American soldiers, each with their own unique perspective shaped by the hardships, losses, responsibilities, and lessons learned throughout their journey.

The DLC will allow players to upgrade their troops through completing objectives, offering a range of tactical options. For instance, players may choose to focus on artillery tactics for impressive displays of firepower, even if it means facing challenges in more defensive situations. Company of Heroes 3 has received praise for its return to form and strong orchestral score, making it an appealing choice for strategy enthusiasts looking for a deep dive into World War II history.
