Company of Heroes 2 DLC for Mac & Linux – Missions and more!

New battles, scenarios and campaigns await battle-hardened veterans of Company of Heroes 2.

So you've resisted the Germans at Stalingrad, encircled and defeated the Wehrmacht's Sixth Army and stormed the steps of the Reichstag, and now you're ready for a new challenge, worthy of a Company of Heroes 2 veteran.

It's a good job, then, that Company of Heroes 2 has a raft of additional content, including missions packs based on key Soviet-German battles and campaigns of World War II.

In Case Blue you take command of the mighty German war machine in its 1942 summer offensive to capture the oil-rich lands of the Caucasus. Scenarios, challenges and battles based on this campaign lie in store.

Lead the Red Army from the jaws of defeat to a stunning triumph against the Wehrmacht's Sixth Army in Victory at Stalingrad. Take part in a series of missions based on the Soviet defence of Stalingrad and subsequent counter attack against the Germans.

Southern Fronts sees players command the opposing Soviet and Wehrmacht forces in a series of battles and challenges based on the 1943 Spring Rasputitsa. You'll need to learn how to contend with a new enemy on the battlefield: thick mud.

There's also a supply drop of other DLC that'll enhance your Company of Heroes 2 playing experience.

New Commanders will open up new play styles, with combinations of five different combat abilities. Vehicle skins will give your light, medium and heavy vehicles a fresh lick of historically-accurate paint in Theater of War and Skirmish modes. Finally, you can personalise your loadout panel in Theater of War and Skirmish modes with four stylish Faceplates.

To find out more, visit the Company of Heroes 2 minisite; DLC (for use with the Steam version of the game) is available to buy through the Feral Store and via the in-game menu.
