Developer Relic and publisher SEGA announce that the upcoming Company of Heroes 2 strategy game will ship with a new mode called Theater of War, designed specifically to challenge players to relieve some of the most interesting battles of the Easter Front.

The mode is designed to include single-player challenges, A.I. battles against unique enemy commanders and multiplayer matches meant to test the skills of veteran gamers.

When Company of Heroes 2 launches, Theater of War will include missions built around real-world engagements from 1941 and more content will be added to cover the rest of World War II.

Greg Wilson, producer of Company of Heroes 2, states on the official blog that, "We get a lot of requests from fans to showcase specific conflicts from the war and it isn’t always possible to fit these into the campaign. Theater of War gives us the opportunity to deliver these new gameplay experiences to our fans."

Company of Heroes 2 will arrive on the PC on June 25.
