Top class community content and modding have played a major part in the longevity of the original Company of Heroes. And we want to help that continue! That's why we have just updated the game with Steam Workshop capabilities and an in-game Workshop hub. This means you can now play, share, and manage your subscriptions to custom scenarios without exiting the game, or manually installing files!

What's more, the incredible Eastern Front mod for Company of Heroes is now available on Steam. Get ready to wage war with the original Company of Heroes 2 factions, the Soviet Army and the German Ostheer, in the original game!

Additionally, for all you collectors out there, you'll be excited to hear that this update also sees the introduction of Steam Trading Cards.

Alongside these updates, we're running a massive Steam sale until 10 AM PDT on June 5th! All Company of Heroes and Company of Heroes 2 games and expansions will be 75% off, and all Company of Heroes 2 paid DLC will be 66% off.

In order to keep the original <em>Company of Heroes</em> online we had to move from the servers that the game was launched on, to a new setup on Valve's Steamworks servers. While we were glad that we were able to keep the original game online, the move meant that we lost a number of features that we had managed to build into the game over the years.

Since the move we have been working hard alongside the team at Smoking Gun Interactive, a Vancouver based studio featuring many of the original team that worked on <em>CoH</em>, to restore the game's features.

Earlier this month we ran an<a title="Company of Heroes Beta" href="http://blogs.companyofheroes.com/2013/11/27/company-of-heroes-beta/"> open beta</a> for players to test the latest version of the game. Now thanks to the beta testers' feedback we have launched the latest update to <a href="http://community.companyofheroes.com/forum/company-of-heroes/company-of-heroes-general-discussion/12895-company-of-heroes-changelog"><em>Company of Heroes</em></a>.

Everyone at Relic would like to thank the fantastic fans who have helped us keep <em>Company of Heroes</em> alive. Your passion for the game, and your help with this latest update, have been invaluable to us.

We look forward to many more years of seeing you on the field of battle.
