While we know many of you are itching to get your hands on the game, we believe this to be the best decision for CoH3, our players, and our studio. This provides our hard-working team and partners with the necessary time to deliver CoH3 in a better overall state. So, what does this all mean? It means we’re spending this |

| COH1 Versions: "Legacy, New Steam" etc. | 2017-11-07 | Hello everyone, As some of you may have noticed, we have updated the names of the two versions of COH1 that coexist on Steam: the one formerly known as "Company of Heroes" is now "Company of Heroes - Legacy Edition" the one formerly known as "Company of Heroes (New Steam Version)" is now simply known as "Company of Heroes" Going forward, the "Company of Heroes" app is the one you should use if you want to play online and enjoy the Steam Workshop maps. Store pages descriptions were also tweaked accordingly for clarity - but it took us a couple of days. Sorry about that. Try clearing your browser cache if you don't see them now, however. http:/ |
