Company of Heroes 3 has received its 3.0 update, a release PCGamesN described as a continuation of the series' 20th-anniversary celebrations. The update touches both the base game and the Final Stand expandalone mode, adding new maps, weather effects, changes to AI opponents and a new three-player mode.
Five new maps join the base game, covering match sizes from 1v1 to 4v4. Three existing maps, Langres, Mignano Summit Winter and Rapido River Crossed, have been refreshed with the update's new visual and environmental enhancements.
Computer-controlled opponents now run a "Combat Rating" calculation at all times, which PCGamesN reported is intended to produce smarter decisions in battle and more natural retreat behavior when a fight turns against the AI.
Final Stand, the wave-defense mode with roguelike elements, gains a three-player mode alongside new abilities, passives and enemies. PCGamesN said Relic has promised continued support and further content for the game.
