Feral Interactive bringing Company of Heroes to Android on September 10
You'll be able to pick it up for $13.99
- Feral Interactive reveals release date and pre-reg for Company of Heroes
Feral Interactive has announced that it will bring the World War II real-time strategy game Company of Heroes to Android this year. The game was recently ported by Feral to the iPad, and so it makes sense that this mobile port will be tweaked to support phones, and luckily Android phones are part of this equation. So while we don't yet know when to expect the arrival of Company of Heroes on Android, at the very least, we now know the strategy game is coming sometime this year.
Feral Interactive is a quality port house that has brought some fantastic PC and console games to Android, such as Tropico, ROME: Total War, and GRID Autosport, which is precisely why I'm excited to hear that the studio will bring the real-time strategy game Company of Heroes to the Play Store in 2020.
While details are still light, we do know the Android version of Company of Heroes will arrive as a premium release, and so will be available at launch for $13.99. As it stands, we don't yet know what devices will be able to run the game, or when it will arrive, though I'm sure more details will slowly leak out as development moves forward, so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for further coverage in the coming months.

Seeing that Feral is well-known for competent ports, such as Tropico, ROME: Total War, and GRID Autosport, I have high hopes that the port for Company of Heroes will turn out great. So if you're as eager as me to get your hands on the Android version of Company of Heroes, as of today, you can pre-register on the Play Store to receive a notification once the game goes live.
