Company of Heroes 2 brengt volgende week ‘Victory at Stalingrad’ DLC

‘Victory at Stalingrad’ is de naam van de opkomende premium downloadable content voor Company of Heroes 2. De DLC voor deze WO II-strategy game wordt op 12 november beschikbaar en zal €7,99 kosten op Steam.

Het is best lang stil geweest rond Company of Heroes 2. Die stilte kwam er vooral na de diverse klachten op het internet en vanuit Rusland over de schijnbaar gebrekkige historische accuraatheid en de foute voorstelling van het Russische leger tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. CoH2 verlaat nu zijn bunker om een nieuwe DLC te lanceren.

De downloadable content heet Victory of Stalingrad en brengt een co-op scenario, twee solo challenges en drie AI battles die zich in en rond de legendarisch geworden Russische stad afspelen. Vanaf 12 november is de DLC op Steam te vinden voor €7,99.
