Press release:
Vancouver, Canada – [October 28, 2026] – Relic Entertainment is proud to announce Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch, a new narrative-driven campaign DLC launching November 25, 2026 on PC, and the first single-player mission content since the game launched.

Inspired by the Allied campaign in Axis-occupied North Africa, Operation Torch puts players in command of an American force during its first major campaign against German troops. Across a series of historically inspired missions, players will lead an inexperienced army through hard-fought victories and costly defeats, building it into a seasoned force on the battlefield.

A Narrative-Driven Campaign Inspired by History

Operation Torch follows the Allied landings in North Africa through a dramatic campaign arc that spans the opening invasion, the defeat at Kasserine, and the final assault on Hill 609. Drawing inspiration from real events, the campaign adapts historical moments into a focused single-player experience designed around tactical decision-making and battlefield mastery.

Players will experience the campaign through the perspectives of three American soldiers whose stories frame the conflict from both command and field-level viewpoints. As the campaign unfolds, their perspectives reflect the hardships, losses, responsibilities, and lessons learned as they are forged into the fighting force that will liberate Europe.

Mission-Focused Tactical Gameplay

Operation Torch’s campaign spans 15 missions, challenging players across a range of tactical scenarios and highlighting different units and mechanics. Players will be pushed to master a number of tools, abilities, and strategies to achieve victory.

From beachfront landings and stealth operations to defensive actions and large-scale assaults, every mission presents a distinct combat scenario focused on engaging tactical gameplay.

Progression and Player Choice

A rewarding progression system enables players to shape their army throughout the campaign. By completing missions and tackling optional objectives, players earn upgrades that allow for meaningful choices in how their combat forces evolve.
