EA REWRITES HISTORY IN COMMAND & CONQUER: RED alert 3

Be Among the First to Return to Red alert with the Exclusive Beta Invite in Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection

Redwood City, Calif., February 14, 2008 – After a seven-year hiatus, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the return of Red alert, one of the most beloved and best-selling real time strategy (RTS) series of all time. Command & Conquer™: Red alert™ 3, for the PC, Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, takes players on an epic adventure to a breathtaking alternate future spawned by time travel run amok . Developed by EA Los Angeles, Red alert 3 breaks new ground in the RTS genre, featuring a fully co-operative campaign while bringing back the series’ light-hearted style and classic, action-oriented gameplay.

"The Red alert games are known for challenging hardcore strategy gamers with depth, variety, and innovative gameplay. But they also belong to that rare breed of games that can draw in more casual players with their over-the-top stories, instantly accessible mechanics, and straight-to-the-fun design," said Mike Verdu, General Manager of EALA. "With Red alert 3, our team is continuing that proud tradition by introducing genre-first features like co-operative campaign play, which rewards veterans and casual players alike. In Red alert 3, friends and family can always have your back!"

"It's been too long." said Chris Corry, Executive Producer at EALA. "Fans have been waiting for a new Red alert game for seven years, and we’re working hard to ensure its well worth the wait. The team is staying true to the series' roots while adding new elements like a co-operatively played story-driven campaign, an astounding new faction that will shake-up the Red alert universe as we know it, and units that will help make Red alert 3 everything our fans have been waiting for. And by bringing naval combat into the heart of the game design, we’re transporting that fast, fun and fluid C&C gameplay to the high-seas in ways that you’ve never seen before."

In Red alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Red alert 3 asks the question "What If?" What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation, invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream? What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech military superpower? The end result is an imaginative and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility.

Command & Conquer fans eager to experience Red alert 3 before anyone else can get early access to the beta1 by picking up a copy of Command & Conquer™ 3: Kane's Wrath or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection later this year.

For fans of Red alert and Command & Conquer, EA hosts a dedicated online Web cast that goes beyond the game and brings players all the latest series news, tips and strategies. The flagship show, BattleCast™ Primetime, is a unique program that offers a sportscast look and feel for featured fan multiplayer matches, including expert commentary. Command & Conquer, BattleCast Primetime can be seen on the official Command & Conquer website.

This product is not yet rated by the ESRB, PEGI or USK. For more information about Red alert 3 or the Command & Conquer series, please visit www.commandandconquer.com.

1 Beta program is available for the PC only. An announcement about the Red alert 3 beta dates will be made this summer.

EA have the capacity to make a good game every once in a while, and, by the looks of it, RA3 has been a work in progress for quite some time now. Hopefully it won't be just another botch-job rushed out to make up the numbers and avoid obvious competitors (SC2?) There's definitely potential, but the track record over the last 6 years pretty much speaks for itself.
Needless to say, as a C&C fanboy, I'll most probably be buying it anyway.


They sure as hell can do some concept artwork though:

A couple of new RA3 units have just been revealed in some detail and I felt that I had to share this particular snippet:

Bullfrog concept:

I can confirm that the Bullfrog has the ability to deploy parachuting bears (aka “bear-a-chutes”) from water onto land. It’s really fun to see and feels very true to the less-than-serious tone of the Red Alert series.



Seriously... oh dear. xD

Played it last night for the first time. Didn't do TOO badly considering the screen was flashing black the whole game due to a graphics bug. It's obviously not finished but here's a few of my first impressions.

It's not THAT pretty... the water is quite nice though.
Apocalypse tanks are now ugly AND can't shoot air :|
tech tree seems well weird compared to previous C&C
empire of the rising sun having everything able to fly makes things difficult
dreadnaught is pretty win... but not when it's trying to beat 5 shoguns
Engis having boats is annoying when u dnt expect it xD
It's weird having conyard in the water
It's weird having to play building sites before buildings actually build (weird for C&C anyway) so that lost me some time too :P
