Company of Heroes 3 is real, and we couldn't be more excited. While a lot of attention has been lavished on the brand new campaign layer, Relic and the series in general are known for tight, tactical RTS games and there's plenty to celebrate there as well.
But while the WW2 game's pre-alpha is available to play right now, if you don't have the right system requirements you may struggle to even get the build running to see how things are shaping up for yourself. There's the gameplay teaser, of course, but that's more stylised. Luckily for you, there's a Plan B. Starting today, Relic will be releasing some tutorial videos to help people get to grips with the demo.
One video - which will go live later today - shows off the RTS layer and is in the pre-alpha build itself, although you can skip it if you want to. It uses footage from the build's first tutorial mission, which tasks the player with taking control of an Axis airfield. You can see the current version of the UI, new mechanics such as hot-breaching units out of garrisoned buildings, as well as tactical pause in action, among other things.
