Company of Heroes Online Open Beta Launches

THQ today launches the Company of Heroes Online Open Beta for North America, with an exclusive in-game content package available for those creating accounts by September 8.

Developed by THQ’s Relic Entertainment studio, creators of the award-winning Company of Heroes and Dawn of War franchises, Company of Heroes Online is an online multiplayer Real-Time-Strategy game that is free to download and play. Building on the frenetic Real-Time-Strategy action of the original Company of Heroes, Company of Heroes Online offers army specialization, commander customization, and persistent progression. Players will enter each match with a unique selection of upgrades and hero units with new items and experience earned with every match played.

The Company of Heroes Online Open Beta features two different armies, the Allies and Axis, each with three different divisions offering players a choice of play style. The Open Beta features 17 different multiplayer maps, which will be split between 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and 4v4 modes. Players of the Company of Heroes Online Open Beta will also be able to enjoy the single player campaign from Company of Heroes for free.

Users who register for the Company of Heroes Online Open Beta before September 8 will also receive an exclusive in-game item pack for free. This pack will include 3,000 free supply points to use in the shop, 500xp to level up the commander, one free hero unit and one free army item giving early adopters a head start on the competition.

Siege Online

Siege Online is a free role-playing strategy game. You become a feudal lord in a medieval world of internecine wars. Expect a very original game, with fresh ideas and cohesive gameplay. Check it out for yourself:

* Unique battle system turns every battle into a full-scale war; its winner depends on troops positions, on the chosen strategy, and on making the right decisions at the right times. Some players even call the battles “chess-like” for being deceptively simple but having some serious tactical depth.
* The development of your character is supplemented by the development of your castle. You control and manage the training of troops, building and upgrading workshops and barracks – and then travel all over the game world looking for resources, blueprints and adventures.
* Capture and control your own land, get some real property – a part of the game world. The land is under total control of its owners: they can build defenses, manufacturing and residential buildings, roads, fortifications, ornamental and other objects.
* There are many more things to do in the game world: diplomacy, trade, hunting, geology, looting and even special zones for free-for-all PVP.
