So, Company of Heroes is pretty great, right? And the fact that it’s coming to iPad is like D-Day levels of greatness. What would be more great than these two incredibly great facts? Some actual in-game footage!
Perhaps Feral are trying to reassure us that, yes, the game does exist and that, yes it IS coming out next Thursday. Whatever the reason, we’ve been treated to four minutes (and thirteen seconds) of live gameplay in a new video:

One thing I didn’t spot before – Company of Heroes needs 5 GB of storage! That seems quite high for a mobile game, right? As the video goes on to explain however, this can be mitigated somewhat with the ability to pick and choose what you want to have installed. They break up the campaign missions into several chunks and the skirmish maps are also bundled together by size, so if space is a premium you don’t have to have everything installed all at once.
I’ll admit, back when I used to play CoH on PC, I used to love playing as the British faction who were added later as DLC. I hope Feral get to bring them over as well, even if it’s just for skirmish matches.
Company of Heroes iPad is due out on February 13th, 2020.
