The epic struggle
between the Global
Defense Initiative
(GDI) and The
Brotherhood of NOD
continues…and the
third Tiberium War
is about to begin.
Welcome back,
Commander.
Electronic Arts
today announced that
Command & Conquer™,
the groundbreaking
series that put the
Real-time Strategy
(RTS) genre on the
map, is returning in
full force with
Command & Conquer™ 3
Tiberium Wars*. This
highly-anticipated
next chapter takes
the popular series
back to its roots in
the Tiberium
universe and
features the fast,
fluid gameplay that
Command & Conquer is
known for and a
gripping story that
will redefine
storytelling in RTS
games.
It is 2047 and the
stakes could not be
higher. Tiberium – a
self-replicating
alien substance that
has infected the
Earth – is spreading
like a radioactive
ice age. The GDI, a
high-tech alliance
of the world's most
advanced nations, is
fighting to contain
Tiberium, but Kane,
the megalomaniacal
leader of The
Brotherhood of NOD
has other plans for
Earth. 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."
"We have been
waiting to reveal
this game for quite
some time and are
thrilled to bring
the series back to
where it all began,"
said Louis Castle,
VP of Creative
Development at EALA
and co-founder of
Westwood Studios,
creator of the
Command & Conquer
series. "The
Tiberium universe is
a personal favorite
of mine, and this
saga's new direction
will prove to be a
worthy addition to
one of the most
celebrated RTS
franchises."
