Company of Heroes Online has announced to be closed down on March 31st, 2011. THQ's reevaluated its strategy on Asia market and decided to cancel Company of Heroes Online. The game is still in Open Beta phase but players can no longer purchase COHO Cash while they can still purchase items with the cash they have.

After an exciting period of operating and testing, we will be closing Open Beta on March 31, 2011 to evaluate the next steps for the Company of Heroes series. As of today, you can no longer purchase COHO Cash from the website, but you will be able to spend any purchased COHO Cash in the game until March 31, 2011. We will also honor any COHO Cash Card redemptions on the website until March 1, 2011. (Full announcement)

As the game still has over a month's life, the official will like to offer bonus to all COHO players. Players who still play the game will gain more XP and find it easier to win supply and rewards.

Company of Heroes Online isn't the only game that cancelled by THQ, according to Joystiq, THQ also cancelled WWE Online that initially made for Asia market. It isn't surprised to see the cancelation since wrestling is really not what the Asians are interested in. On talking to the cancelation of the 2 games, THQ CEO Brian Farrell says "the concept of converting some of these concepts for a market -- though Korea's still a great market -- it just wasn't the top of our list for focus."
