THQ and developer Relic have not only been working on the Company of Heroes RTS games for the Western market, they have also been developing Company of Heroes Online, a persistant MMO version of their WWII RTS series for the Chinese market. Now the game's official franchise web site here in the US gives some hints that Company of Heroes Online could find its way to US players.

The post states that the game is currently in open beta testing in China but hints that others from outside China could join in soon. The game's new producer Greg Wilson states, " . . . we would like to invite COH fans around the world to join up and tell us what they think. Stay tuned for details on how to play the COHO Open Beta." That seems to be a big clue that the game could expand beyond its current borders.
