Going to be released on PC, PS3, and 360 with co-op play!
February 14, 2008 - It's been over seven years since Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, but today Electronic Arts announced the third proper entry in the series is on the way. The real-time strategy game is currently in development at EA's LA studio and is planned for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. The campaign is being built for co-op play and is aiming to hook both hardcore and casual players alike.
"The Red Alert games are known for challenging hardcore strategy gamers with depth, variety, and innovative gameplay," said Mike Verdu, General Manager of EALA. "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. 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!"
"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," said Chris Corry, Executive Producer at EALA. "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."
The conflict in Red Alert 3 is spurred by a time travel trip gone wrong. World War III is raging on three fronts between the Allies, the Soviets, and the Empire of the Rising Sun in the east. The tools of war include tesla coils, armed bears, battle dolphins, blimps, and floating fortresses.
PC strategists will get a chance to try Red Alert 3 early when Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath and the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection ship later this year. Both packs will come with access to the RA3 beta.
