Electronic Arts spilled the beans yesterday about the new Command & Conquer 4 during a twitter by EA's UK PR team, all before the news release even hit the wire. EA responded today and released the press release about the new game which will be the final installment of the Tiberium series.
"Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with an amazing 15-year legacy. We are thrilled to bring the dramatic Tiberium saga to a conclusion in Command & Conquer 4. This game is designed to give fans all the answers theyve been looking for," said Mike Glosecki, Lead Producer of CNC 4 at EA Los Angeles. "With its objective-based multiplayer mode, persistent player progression and all-in-one mobile base, players will experience Command & Conquer like never before."
The story of Command & Conquer 4 takes place after the events of the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The year is 2062 and humanity is at the brink of extinction. With only six years left until the mysterious crystalline structure Tiberium renders the earth entirely uninhabitable, the two opposing factions Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod inevitably find themselves in desperation for the same cause: to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind. The unthinkable becomes reality and Nods enigmatic leader Kane takes off for GDI headquarters. What is Kane planning in the heart of his enemies base? Command & Conquer 4 draws the epic conclusion to the beloved Tiberium universe, where fans will learn the fate of Earth, Nod, Tiberium, GDI and most importantly, Kanes motivations behind his decade-long plan.
C&C 4 will also feature 5 vs 5 multiplayer mode, coop mode, and of you can course conquer alone.
Command and Conquer 4 for PC will ship to retailer in 2010 and more information about the game can be found at CommandAndConquer.com.
