Overview
- Relic announced the game on Thursday, July 2 and set a Steam launch for July 29, 2026 with a roughly $29.99 price, a 10% launch discount, and a 20% discount for Company of Heroes 3 owners.
- Final Stand is a standalone roguelite wave-defense game that does not require previous CoH ownership and asks players to survive escalating enemy waves in single-player or two-player co-op runs.
- Runs feature randomized choices between waves and an in-run selection of units and abilities, while persistent faction-specific progression trees unlock perks and abilities between runs.
- The release ships with four playable factions (US Forces, Wehrmacht, British Forces, Deutsches Afrikakorps), five battlegrounds, 12 escalating waves plus Endless Mode, 36 boss units, 18 dynamic events, and eight difficulty levels.
- The title is part of Relic’s 20th-anniversary slate and signals a move toward shorter, repeatable PvE products that aim to widen the series’ audience and give players bite-sized strategy options without needing the full RTS campaign.
