THQ has officially announced Company of Heroes 2, confirming that Relic Entertainment is actively working on the warfare strategy sequel.

"Company of Heroes 2 is a true successor, introducing a new front, new protagonists and new technology while retaining the unique mix of strategic gameplay and competitive multiplayer that made the original Company of Heroes such a success," Relic producer Greg Wilson stated in the announcement.
