Today we break down everything happening in the weeks ahead to mark the occasion. [h2]PC Update [/h2] Our Year-1 Anniversary Update (1.5.0) is scheduled to be released on [b]Tuesday, February 27th at 10am Pacific Time[/b]. It wouldn’t be an anniversary if we didn’t look back on the franchise’s history, and in that spirit, we have reimagined and updated several classic Company of Heroes maps from both Company of Heroes 1 and 2. We’ll share more details on which five classic maps (plus two co-op variants!) you can look forward to very soon. These will also include the first two community-made maps in the official map pool! Need a glow up for your Player Profile? This update will introduce new Profile Customization which will allow players to personalize their profile appearance and stand out from others before heading into combat. The Year-1 Anniversary update will also include multiplayer balance adjustments, some slight changes to a few existing Battlegroups, plus, an experimental call-in change which we’ll keep secret until our Balance Livestream (details below). You can learn more in the coming days as we’ll be sharing several sneak peeks from the update. Be sure to keep an eye on our social channels!
