EA Announces Command & Conquer 3 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

After months of heightened speculation, Electronic Arts has announced the next title in the Command & Conquer series. It will arrive some time in 2007, four years after C&C Generals and Zero Hour were released. Although C&C First Decade's arrival this year implied that future titles were imminent, many fans have wondered whether or not too much time has passed since 1999's Command & Conquer 2. The switch to licensed RTS titles based on franchises such as The Lord of the Rings suggested to some that EA was moving away from its classic franchises. These question were put to rest this morning, and the answer is that EA is clearly willing to follow up with proper sequels to its major games from the 1990s. Tiberium Wars is being developed by EALA under the supervision of Westwood Studios' co-founder, Louis Castle, and Origin's former general manager, Neil Young. New features will include built-in voice chat and spectator modes for online matches. The single player campaign will once again follow the battle between the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod as alien Tiberium warps planet Earth. More specifics will be announced at next month's Electronic Entertainment Expo.

It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.

"Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game," said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). "We're building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game."
