Press release:
Vancouver, Canada – [November 6, 2025].
Relic Entertainment are today very excited and happy to announce that their WW2 RTS ‘Company of Heroes 3’, is dropping its ‘Endure & Defy’ DLC via Steam on November 27th, 2025, for 24, 99 USD.
The DLC introduces four new Battlegroups—one for each faction—designed for Multiplayer and Co-Op/Skirmish vs A.I. modes. A 10% launch discount will be available for two weeks, and new players can join the battle with a 60% Black Friday discount on the Company of Heroes 3 base game. Each Battlegroup will introduce an exciting new playstyle for their respective factions. Players can expect powerful new units, iconic franchise favorites, as well as innovative abilities that create all new gameplay mechanics for the series.
Four New Battlegroups
US Forces – Italian Partisan Battlegroup: Deploy daring Partisans to wreak havoc behind the lines. Cunning, deception, and sabotage are how your forces will prevail.
Brave Resistance Fighters and Saboteurs will enhance your ground forces, while tunnel networks, resource siphoning, and underground detonations will cause the enemy to collapse from within.
Wehrmacht – Last Stand Battlegroup: Victory requires sacrifice. Bolster your line with powerful improvised defenses and embolden your ground forces with a number of extraordinary measures.
Repel the Allied advance with the new Borgward Wanze, imposing Pantherturm, and immobilized vehicles, then demoralize their troops with the Propaganda Tower. Panzerfaust rollouts, improvised barrages, and final battle directives enable victory at any cost.
British Forces – Polish Cavalry Battlegroup: Seek revenge with grizzled Polish troops who long for battle and smash the enemy with devastating heavy weaponry.
Elite Polish Lancer Sections lead the line, while Polish-crewed Sherman Fireflies and Land Mattresses demolish enemy positions and armor with frightening efficiency. All Polish units thrive against veteran enemies.
Deutsches Afrikakorps – Kriegsmarine Battlegroup: Bring the might of the German Navy to bear. Fortify your positions, establish vital supply chains, and then annihilate all in your path with catastrophic fire support.
Kriegsmarine infantry provides combat flexibility and engineering prowess. Establish Hardpoints to secure territory and enable supply drops. Stuka Bombers, Fritz Glide-bombs, and Naval salvos will break the enemy upon your shores.
We’ll be releasing more information about Endure & Defy over the next couple of weeks so keep an eye on our social media channels for updates.
