When will new content be added?

Does anyone have a guess if new doctrines or new factions will ever be added to the game?
Thanks

I hope never. I dont want to leave this game. My tie to the game already has got thinner since UKF released after OKW. I couldnt stand a new one.

That's so strange, new content is a turn off. No other game but this one, do I ever hear/read people say that.

guys like you are responsible for the brits

Relic is responsible for the brits.

You'd think they would know after everyone hated them in vCoH to not break up their worst features and spread them out between OKW and UKF, but alas, here we are.

Man I came up with an idea, thanks to you

Why not balancing the game by adding ridiculously OP Panzerelite from vCoH into CoH2? Then nobody would cry anymore when each side has its OP faction. Let the sniping armored car, G43 that insta surpress heavy-covered inf and panther spam for 1000 MP begin

Knowing that relic aims the game for compstompers, you could guess that brits were the most wanted faction to reappear...

I would love PE if they added it into the game and fixed some of the broken shit that coh2 moved away from.

- Unique veterancy system with more interaction to make units feel special
- Unique units that are very different from other factions
- Multiple teching routes that provide variety and choice without gimping the faction too hard
- Many upgrades to spend fuel on and diversify build orders
- HOTCHKISS


Things they would need to change:

- Fix the blobberino vet sharing
- Fix some OP abilities and things that wouldn't work with the mechanics of CoH2
- Add something that can actually sweep mines

I just wanted to know if anyone knows if they are updating the game still...
I just got it like 2 weeks ago and dont even have the British. I just like the United States

COH2 ded gaem

there is only one person left who's working on coh2. We will see some small balance patches and thats it.

You mean kyle or the other one person? That makes two. Presumebly we can go that way further untill we got a couple of them. In fact - we simply know nothing about relic plans.

Ok Thanks
If anyone finds anything out, please say it

We might see some new content after they release DoW III, and that's being optimistic about it.

Relic dont want our money?

OKW general with JadgPanther = here is my 10$

after they fix the current broken mess, before adding any more P2W nonsense.

I think the situation will be similar with Eugen Systems, Wargame and Act of Aggression.
DoW3 will be unsuccessful and Relic will start creating and selling new CoH2 content.

I don't think so. DoW - main title for Relic. I am sure they will invest much time and money to develop and support it. But it won't save DoW from bugs, bad optimisation and unbalances multiplayer.
IMO Eugen Systems support WarGame because it is their most successful and main title. They find the best way to go, and that's why i like WarGame so much! Because this game always changing for the better!

Does anyone have a guess if new doctrines or new factions will ever be added to the game?

This is actual a more complicated question to ask than you realize.

New core content and balance is not the same thing. But most importantly, it was pretty obvious that the "5 years plan" for COH was going to fail financially with new content. Some former popular streamers like Romeo were trying to warn the community/Relic about this many months ago.
Did anyone listen? I sure did. To help understand why the 5 years plan failed financially I highly recommend reading this article below by Sergey Galyonkin. This is the owner of steamspy.com which is one of the best steam "marketing tools" available free for gaming fans and indie devs.

Why are paid games adding micro payments?
by Sergey Galyonkin

https://medium.com/steam-spy/why-paid-games-are-adding-micro-payments-526f358426c6#.wt265vqoy

Selling the base game to new users to continue support for existing users isn’t a viable business. It’s a Ponzi scheme. It’s unsustainable.
So we’re left with two options: selling content or going full free-to-play with hats, boxes, locks, energy and gacha.

So recently for COH, Relic/SEGA Europe have shifted gear and are investing more time into user acquisition/commercial publishing (lead by John Clark, SEGA Europe and Alex Price, Director Relic Brands) and testing community content with War Paint. Alexandre Delamaire is the new COH brand manager which seems interested in the CS GO business model.

Relic testing new self-sustaining model (community content)

“This is a unique opportunity to test a self-sustaining model where players can access top quality content, reward the content creators, and fund community-led events,” said Alex Price, brand director at Relic. “We’re excited to see how this might pave the way for more collaboration with players and designers across our portfolio of games.”http://www.pcgamesn.com/company-of-heroes-2/company-of-heroes-2-pumping-50-of-skin-competition-purchases-back-into-community

They want the franchise to grow as a "global brand" with more community content (this logical include new mod tools and eventual steam trading) NOT new factions every year and 10+ new commanders.
This is coming from the top of SEGA Europe (John Clark, Senior Vice President) which report directly to the other top SEGA executives. So you can expect more "War Paint" and user customization coming with future COH games (not just PC gaming) and COH2 updates. Laying the foundation for more community content and user customization is not necessary a bad thing but I guess haters gonna hate as usual.

Sega & Wargaming collaboration

In collaboration with Sega, Wargaming announced a new Valkyria Chronicles themed tank for World of Tanks Blitz. This announcement teases an increased involvement between the Sega developed series and mobile MMO.

This collaboration marks the first time Wargaming has worked with another gaming company, and the company has released a video covering the announcement and collaboration.

New SEGA COH "Streaming Bunker"
SEGA Europe has been streaming several times now from a new "COH bunker". Did any COH naysayers pay attention to that? I guess not. Dead game? Yeah right. New COH content are coming; the only question will it be for COH2 or a new game.


I have given several good hints at COH2.org that Relic/SEGA Europe want to expand their core franchises (COH, DoW, Total War, Football Manager) to Asia and/or other platforms. Look at what they are doing with Total War (Kingdoms and Arena freemium games), Halo Wars 2 (huge cross-platform team) and Football Manager freemium games + cross platform teams to get a clue what is coming for COH. Could be a mobile card game like Hearthstone/WoT:Generals or something else like a top down shooter like Wargaming is working on.


If I´m right about this; then expect future Wargaming/Microsoft + Relic collaboration in mobile/PC freemium games. On Xbox we have Creative Assembly+Microsoft collaboration and I expect something similar will happen with future Sega expansions into mobile gaming.
Also look at the new blitz mode in Halo Wars 2 which also include "gaming cards" that could potential be laying the foundation for a new card game on mobile made by Relic or CA. Microsoft is very interested in Halo card games and wants to expand Halo to mobile and they have no current studio for that. Microsoft did some experimentation with Halo Spartan Strike as a mobile/PC game. Microsoft is definitely interested in COH because of AoE/Halo Wars.

So we have two SEGA partners, Microsoft + Wargaming interested in card games so that is a good clue for what is coming.

World of Tanks Generals (WW2 card game - cancelled)

I played this game for over 100 hours and I could easily see a WW2/Halo card game doing well on mobile/pc.

Thanks for all the info! I was surprised to see AOE, as i loved that game.
