Company of Heroes 3's first «major» update is out today, 28th March.
Known as Operation Sapphire Jackal, this update comes with a hefty number of bug fixes, along with an array of quality of life enhancements and the like.
It also introduces challenges, which will give players the chance to complete both daily and weekly in-game objectives. These will earn players merit that can be used to unlock a variety of cosmetics.
The random daily challenges will be refreshed at 5pm PT (so, 1am the next day for us in Blighty). Meanwhile, the weekly challenges will be available each Saturday from 5pm PT (as before, for those in the UK, this will be 1am on Sunday morning).
A range of cosmetic options will also be available in the store thanks to this update, meaning players can customise their armies in both multiplayer and singleplayer.
Lastly, I mentioned various fixes and other changes, and there are plenty of them. Here are some of the highlights, as shared by developer Relic:
