Besdies revamping the single experience, Relic Entertainment is also revisiting the multiplayer aspect of the franchise and making it fresh and exciting by adding neat new features such as:
- Snow based maps where soldiers need to be constantly kept warm by building fires, vehicles or garrisoning them in buildings, otherwise they die of hypothermia
- Ribbons and medals to be earned via multiplayer achievements
- Revised command ability trees
- Two vastly different sides i.e. the Russians and the Germans that offer hugely different strategic options to the player
- Introduction of Commander or Hero units
