C&C Franchise Still Going Strong (March 24, 2012)

[ChrisReid]

The new Command & Conquer Tiberium Alliances has just entered open beta. This entry in the C&C series is a free-to-play browser-based RTS MMO that takes place in the brand's "main" universe. On the other side of the franchise, C&C Generals 2 was also recently announced, and it'll be very interesting to see if Electronic Arts continues to include live actor cutscenes as they did in Red Alert 3 and Command & Conquer 4 over the last couple years. The series has also recently aligned with the Bioware label, which is also loosely attached to Ultima Online.

​
