THQ will release its free-to-play version of WWII RTS Company of Heroes in the US, says VentureBeat.
THQ will announce today that Company of Heroes Online will be released in the US market as a free-to-play online game.
Players will be able to play online for free, but will be able to accelerate progress in the game by spending real money on virtual goods.
“In the past, our multiplayer experience was a quick game session that was over as soon as the match was over,” said Tim Holman, senior producer at Relic Entertainment.
“With this game, you get an extended experience over time.”
The single-player game will also be given away free.
Free-to-play versions of Company of Heroes are already running in China and South Korea.
No date’s been given for the US launch as yet.
