The Company of Heroes 2 website announces that open beta testing is now underway on Steam for Relic's World War II RTS sequel, offering the chance to check out the current state of the game. This will also allow the chance to get a leg up on its release, as those who purchase it now will retain all progress when the game goes live, and also receive other bonuses, including a Theater of War Mini Pack, four additional Commanders, two Winter Skins, and more. There are further details in this producer's letter.
