Company of Heroes 3 Operation Torch: 15-Mission US Campaign DLC Out November 25

Almost three years after launch, Company of Heroes 3 is finally getting a new story campaign, due November 25, 2026. Relic Entertainment announced Operation Torch on October 28, a 15-mission DLC for PC. It covers the US Army’s first major campaign against German forces, in North Africa.

What Operation Torch Includes

The campaign follows a clear arc: the Allied landings, the defeat at Kasserine, and a final assault on Hill 609. You command a green army that has to learn under fire, setbacks included. Relic leans hard on that thread, framing the story as an “untested” force hardened into a capable one.

Every mission is built around its own tactical problem. The official Steam announcement lists beach landings, stealth operations, defensive actions and large-scale assaults. The story is told through the eyes of three American soldiers, moving between the command tent and the front line.

Progress carries over from one mission to the next. Clearing a map and its secondary objectives earns upgrades, and you pick them to shape your army around the way you like to play. Pricing has not been announced yet; Relic says it will share it later.

Why This DLC Matters for Single-Player

Relic calls Operation Torch the first new single-player mission content since the game launched. Until now, Company of Heroes 3 offered two campaigns: the dynamic Italian campaign, played on a strategic map, and a more traditional North African operation. According to PCGamesN and Shacknews, that operation is a linear run of missions played as the German Afrikakorps.

So Operation Torch switches sides on the same front. You trade Rommel’s panzers for American divisions learning modern warfare the hard way. It is also a return to the format that built the series’ reputation in 2006: a string of scripted missions, with no turn-based strategic layer on top. For a breakdown of the factions and the two existing campaigns, our Company of Heroes 3 guide is still the best place to start.

Ending on Hill 609 is a pointed choice. Historically, the US 34th Infantry Division took the hill at the end of April 1943, after a rough few weeks. For a campaign about an army learning its trade, it makes a fitting finale.

A Busy November for Relic

The DLC lands right after the 3.0 update, due November 5, 2026. That patch reworks the multiplayer economy, the AI and the Italian campaign for the franchise’s 20th anniversary. Meanwhile, Relic is also preparing Company of Heroes – Definitive Edition, its remaster of the original game.

What to Watch Before November 25

On paper, Operation Torch ticks the boxes single-player fans have been asking for: a written campaign, varied scenarios and an army that grows. The risk is length. Fifteen missions could make for a dense campaign or a string of short scenarios, and nothing published so far settles it.

Price is the other deciding factor. A campaign DLC is judged on the hours it delivers, not just its map count. If you are on the fence, waiting for early reports on how long the missions really run is the safer call.
