PC Gamer: Relic developing new Company of Heroes

The latest issue of PC Gamer is reporting that a new Company of Heroes is in development at Relic. Work on the WWII strategy followup is assumed to be taking place at the same time as Dawn of War III, something which was confirmed to be in the making back at E3 by THQ core games boss Danny Bilson.

Thanks, Kotaku.

YES.

this is great news because Company Of Heroes 1 was a masterpiece.

@DSB, Metro: the Last Light, (!) Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium Online, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III for 2012.

Everything is fine. Not to mention about potential titles like Darksiders II and UFC 3

and this is only 2012

In 2013 they already will have Itagaki’s Devil Third which i want badly and inSANE.

@2 Let’s consult reality on that one:

When your company is trading for less than a dollar a share, and dropping, everything is anything but fine.

That’s very near worthless. If you believe in their future you should really buy some of their stock. It costs next to nothing, and they badly need someone who will.

This is probably helpful:

@5 That’s a good question. Their fiscal year ends in March, but it isn’t reported until May.

March is a big season for videogames, and Homefront came out in mid-March.

Probably this:

Even with that drop, they were trading four times higher in March than what they are now. It’s not good at all.
