Company of Heroes 2 open beta gets underway today, runs until June 18th

The Company of Heroes 2 open beta will launch later today on Steam and will run until June 18th, Relic Entertainment has announced.

Featuring the title’s multiplayer mode, the Open Beta will allow players to experience competitive and co-operative gameplay on six of the game's maps. The Open Beta will also allow gamers to test out the first 45 levels of the game's progression and bulletin system.

As an added incentive players who participate in the Open beta will get to retain all progression and unlocks earned during this period, if they purchase the game within the first 60 days of launch and play it on the same Steam account as the beta.

Greg Wilson, Producer of Company of Heroes 2 commented: "We have been working hard since the Closed Beta balancing and improving all areas of the game as well as adding new matchmaking servers. COH2 has had one of the most successful Beta programs we’ve ever run at Relic and the support of the fans has been a critical factor in making the game more balanced and stable for launch.”

Company of Heroes 2 will be available for PC on June 25th.
