The additional time will give Relic the opportunity to polish the game and make sure that it meets the very high standards that were set by the previous Company of Heroes. While SEGA and Relic know that the last things fans want to hear about is that the title is being delayed, the decision is in the fans best interest, according to CoH producer Greg Wilson.
A closed beta will precede the actual release of the game; but no details on the beta have been provided, although details are said to be following soon.
