    Lighting the Flame — Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch DLC Deploys November 25, First New Single-Player Content Since Launch

    The wait is over. Relic Entertainment has officially announced Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch, a brand-new narrative-driven campaign DLC that marks the first major single-player mission content since the game launched in 2023. Landing exclusively on PC via Steam on 25 November 2026, it takes players to the sun-scorched battlefields of North Africa for one of WWII’s most pivotal campaigns.

    The Story — From Beaches to the Atlas Mountains

    It’s November 1942 — and the United States enters the war in North Africa. You take command of green American troops facing their first trials against seasoned German forces, tracing the real-life Operation Torch landings through to the decisive battles of the campaign.

    The story unfolds through the eyes of three distinct American soldiers — from high command to the front lines — their perspectives weaving together the cost of war, the weight of leadership, and the transformation of a fledgling force into the army that would liberate Europe.

    What You’ll Fight

    The campaign spans 15 missions, each inspired by actual historical events and battles:

    • Beachhead Landings — storm the shores of North Africa and secure vital ports
    • Kasserine Pass — hold the line as your forces face a brutal early test against veteran Afrika Korps units
    • Hill 609 — the climactic assault that broke Axis defences and cleared the path to victory in Tunisia

    Between missions, a progression and upgrade system lets you shape your army — unlocking persistent abilities, specialised unit upgrades, and tactical bonuses that reward your preferred playstyle, whether you favour overwhelming armour, precise artillery, or hard-hitting infantry.

  • Earth’s Last Stand: Hybrid Warfare in Earth vs Mars

    Earth’s Last Stand: Hybrid Warfare in Earth vs Mars

    The fate of our home planet hangs in the balance, and honestly, it’s never looked this wild. Forget your traditional military strategy—the new turn-based tactics game, Earth vs Mars, from Relic Labs, throws out the rulebook and hands you the keys to the Splice-O-Tron, humanity’s last, craziest hope.

    This is not your grandpa’s sci-fi invasion. This is a battle for Earth waged by human-animal hybrid supersoldiers against a terrifying Martian menace.

    The Martian Menace: Advanced Tech Meets Atomic Abduction

    The Martians aren’t new to Earth; they’ve been visiting for decades, secretly abducting our people and animals to harvest their “atomic essence” and create bizarre hybrids of their own. Now, they’ve arrived for the full invasion, bringing their high-tech saucers, grav-tanks, and elite alien warriors.

    The threats are constantly evolving. As you push back, the Martians escalate, introducing their own mutant creations and the terrifying, sentient organic weapon known only as “The Creep.” You’ll need more than a few tanks and rifles to stop this planetary takeover.

    Humanity’s Secret Weapon: The Splice-O-Tron

    This is where the game truly takes a left turn into brilliant madness. To combat the overwhelming alien forces, Earth’s military has developed the Splice-O-Tron. This unique mechanic allows you to combine human “volunteers” with Earth’s creatures to create an army of custom, mutated super-soldiers.

    Imagine:

    • A cheetah-fly hybrid, fast-moving and capable of raining down acid from the skies.
    • A human-rhino charging through enemy lines with devastating brute strength.
    • The utterly surreal squirrel-cow infantry striking from the forests.

    The level of customisation promises a truly deep layer of strategy. You’re not just creating units; you’re designing your army from the ground up, splicing different body parts to inherit various abilities and stat buffs. Do you build a dedicated healer with axolotl DNA, or a heavy-hitting shock troop with the head of a rhino? The battlefield is your laboratory.

    Game Modes and Why You’ll Stay Splicing

    Earth vs Mars is built on the foundations of classic turn-based tactics games (think Advance Wars meets Relic’s own Impossible Creatures), but with its own unique flavour.

    • Expansive Campaign: Dive into a narrative-focused single-player campaign featuring over 30 hand-crafted missions where you’ll unlock new creature types and powerful commander abilities.
    • Online Multiplayer: Test your hybrid army against other players in intense 1v1 online battles, where you can choose to command either the armies of Earth or the Martian Invaders.
    • Map Lab: The fully featured Map Editor allows you to create your own custom maps and scenarios, ensuring the replayability is nearly endless, and the community can truly run wild with their creations.

    Earth vs Mars isn’t just another strategy game; it’s a wonderfully weird, campy B-movie brought to life. It’s for players who crave tactical depth but also appreciate a truly unique and entertaining sci-fi premise. Prepare your volunteers—the war for Earth is about to get very, very strange.
