my biggest fear is the use of essense engine 5, which means game will be again single core and thus will have very poor performance for vast majority of gamers.
if anyone has better info on this pls tell me.
The vast majority of new players start with 4v4 multiplayer and performance on coh2 in 4v4 was extremely poor up until recently when processors actually became better and not the game code. I hope coh3 doesnt take 5 years till you can get 40ish fps lategame.
Age of Empires 4 and CoH 3 share the same game engine (Essense Engine 5 like you said) so I hope Microsoft and Sega also pay Relic for modernize the engine code regarding modern CPU usage and optimizations. 🙏
so.. multiplayer alpha when.. any guesses?
I would say February 2022 at the earliest.
