The development team at Relic and publisher THQ are offering fans of the strategy franchise a chance to take a look at a teaser trailer for Company of Heroes 2 just as the company is getting ready to launch more in-depth gameplay footage.

The full video, which brings gamers actual in-game footage from the strategy game for the first time, will be offered later during the day.

Company of Heroes 2 moves the action to the Eastern front of World War II and players will be able to control both Soviet and German forces as they fight for the frozen battlefield of Russia, with weather playing a central part in the experience.
