THQ Drops Details on Next Company of Heroes

THQ Drops Details on Next Company of Heroes

Continuing its line of World War II real-time strategy games, THQ announced the third addition to the Company of Heroes series on Monday with Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor. The next title will include three single-player campaigns, new multiplayer modes, and an all-new “direct fire” feature.

The most intriguing new change to gameplay for existing fans of the series will likely be the addition of direct fire. Though developer Relic hasn’t completely explained how it will work, the compant claims it will give players more tactical control of their units and strategic options in the game.

“With fresh new campaigns and multiplayer modes, brand-new units, additional maps and the introduction of the ‘direct-fire’ feature, we’re once again committed to delivering the best in strategic gaming,” said Relic’s general manager Tarrnie Williams, in a statement.

Currently, the title is slated for a spring 2009 release.

Far and away the most popular virtual reality headset on the market is the Oculus Quest, and it looks like its sequel is near on the horizon. An image seemingly displaying the Oculus Quest 2 was posted to Twitter, and it reveals some key details.

Bloomberg reported earlier in the year that Oculus was developing its second-generation stand-alone headset. Oculus Quest 2 is meant to be nearly 15% lighter than its predecessor, with a higher screen refresh rate of 90Hz versus the first versions 60Hz. Its build materials were speculated to be more in line with the Rift S, featuring plastic that was elastic compared to the fabric and velcro straps on the current unit.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.
