One Week Left For CoHO
Fri, 03/25/2011 - 12:58 AM | by Noun
 
As we announced in February next Thursday, March 31st, we will be turning off the servers and shutting down Company of Heroes Online.  That gives players seven more days to play the game, as well as spend any remaining CoHO Cash that they may have.  After the 31st there will be no more Company of Heroes Online.
We will be continuing to support our Company of Heroes retail product and maintaining those servers, and we recomend any fans of CoHO check out the retail game which includes two additional factions and several units that are not a part of CoHO.  Company of Heroes and its expansion packs can be found on Steam as well as in many game retailers.
Thank you once more for being a part of Company of Heroes Online.  Everyone at Relic appreciates the love that fans clearly have for the game, and hope that you'll be pleased with what we're working on as the next step for the franchise.
