Company of Heroes 2 Launches Free Observer Mode and Mod Tools

Sega and Relic Entertainment today launched a new update for the real-time strategy game Company of Heroes 2 adding two new community features to the game – Observer Mode and Mod Tools.

Observer Mode allows players to sync up and watch live multiplayer matches as they unfold. The feature will let them view games from a variety of different angles, at different speeds and player perspectives, and grants access to live data that was previously inaccessible. It provides viewers the opportunity to analyze strategies and learn from the best players in the world. Players can also broadcast their feed through the integrated Twitch interface and showcase their skills to a broader audience.

Mod Tools are an eagerly awaited addition to Company of Heroes 2’s roster of community centric features and will equip the modding community with even more opportunities to create their own custom content. Allowing players to modify existing content to refine the game experience and giving them options to establish their own win conditions and game rules will ultimately create even more and diverse content available for everyone to enjoy.
