Coming Soon - Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch Campaign DLC

2026-10-29 · Hannah_RE · Steam original ↗

Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch arrives November 25th, delivering a new narrative-driven single-player experience. Command the American army's first major fight against German forces, from the beach landings in North Africa to the assault on Hill 609.

Players will lead inexperienced American Forces through a Campaign DLC inspired by the Allied operation in Axis occupied North Africa. Take command of an army that must quickly learn under incredible pressure, where your victories will be hard-fought, and the defeats are costly. Through hard-won lessons and battlefield setbacks, transform an untested and unproven army into a capable, disciplined, and battle-hardened force.

Inspired by the historical campaign, the battles and operational problems of each mission will challenge players across a range of tactical scenarios and highlight different units and mechanics. Players will be pushed to master a number of tools, abilities, and strategies to achieve victory.  

From beachfront landings and stealth operations to defensive actions and large-scale assaults, every mission presents a distinct combat scenario focused on engaging tactical gameplay.   

A rewarding progression system enables players to shape their army throughout the campaign. By completing missions and tackling optional objectives, players earn upgrades that allow for meaningful choices in how their combat forces evolve. 

Meet Your Heroes

Company of Heroes 3: Operation Torch follows three American soldiers whose perspectives frame the conflict and respond to the player's progress. Younger leaders such as Major Russo will find themselves tested alongside more experienced NCOs like Master Sergeant Flanagan. As the campaign unfolds, their perspectives reflect the hardships, losses, responsibilities, and lessons learned as they are forged into the fighting force that will liberate Europe.

Colonel Thomas 'Tom' Becker  Stoic division commander 

While young and inexperienced in his new role in the 34th Infantry Division, Becker is an excellent leader. He sometimes second-guesses his own choices, but he doesn't let the men under his command know he has doubts.   

Becker cares deeply about the men he leads, which can affect his decisions. He is more likely to make a decision that is a poor tactical choice if it means more of his men will survive. He’s also the first to take an unnecessary personal risk to protect someone else. 

Major George Russo  The division’s intelligence officer and resident prankster  

Becker’s best friend and former classmate, Russo was attached to the 34th Infantry Division’s S-2 to serve as an intelligence officer.   

A quick-witted prankster, he is most likely to question the orders coming from the top even though he trusts Becker. When it matters, Russo is there to support his friend, listening to his advice or decisions when it matters.

Master Sergeant James 'Jimmy' Flanagan   Hard-bitten combat veteran who’s seen it all 

A skilled Master Sergeant, Flanagan is not new to the 34th Infantry Division and is loved by the enlisted men for his experience, having served in the Philippines and the first World War. He is a steadying force for the soldiers he serves alongside and provides a keen sense of the general mood of the "Red Bulls.”  

It is a wise officer who heeds the advice of their NCOs, and Flanagan delivers it with confidence.
