Company of Heroes 3 will debut on Steam on November 17. The title is the latest real-time strategy World War II game coming from Relic Entertainment and Sega.

The companies also released a free North Africa operation available to play now for free on CompanyOfHeroes.com.

Relic began teasing the game last year as the latest installment of the RTS franchise. I’ve played every one of these titles and they’re always a deep experience when it comes to the single-player campaigns and multiplayer fighting.

Part of a series that has been around since 2006, the Company of Heroes games test your ability to control both the tactical real-time 3D battles and the thoughtful turn-based strategic 2D campaigns. And this one is set in Italy, as U.S. and British forces try to dislodge the entrenched German Army from places such as the Monte Cassino monastery on top of a mountain.

There is probably a lot of pent-up demand for this game. It has been more than eight years since Company of Heroes 2 debuted in 2013 with a Russian Front setting. I loved playing the original Relic/THQ title, Company of Heroes, when it came out in 2006 with a Normandy/Cobra battleground.

Company of Heroes 3 will offer four playable factions at launch and two unique single-player experiences, with the Italian Dynamic Campaign and the North African Operation.
