Company of Heroes 3: Final Stand has arrived as a standalone roguelite experience, bundling wave-defense mechanics with real-time strategy command across solo and cooperative play. The title requires no prior ownership of the Company of Heroes franchise, lowering the barrier for players new to the series, while inviting veterans to engage with an entirely different mode of survival.
The game gets you to command escalating enemy waves across 12 increasingly difficult rounds, interspersed with boss encounters and dynamic battlefield events, selecting from randomized units or abilities between each wave that persist for the duration of your run. Progression sits within a roguelite framework. This means faction-specific upgrade trees unlock impactful perks and abilities between runs, meaningfully reshaping how each of the four playable factions (US Forces, Wehrmacht, British Forces, and Deutsches Afrikakorps), operate across subsequent playthroughs.
There will be 36 boss units with special abilities, 18 dynamic in-game events, and five battlegrounds designed specifically for the wave-defense format.
Difficulty scales across eight preset levels from newcomer to veteran, and an Endless Mode sits available for players looking for a challenge beyond the standard campaign structure. Cosmetic skin packs tied to each faction, alongside new announcer voice work, round out the additional content bundled at launch.
