Yes, EA Just Announced Command & Conquer 4

In answer to McWhertor’s question from yesterday afternoon, yes. EA has just announced Command & Conquer 4, the dramatic conclusion to the Tiberium saga.

The year is 2062, and the world is about to end. In six years, the Tiberium that has been the focus of such contention over the course of the Command & Conquer series will render the Earth uninhabitable. The Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod find themselves with a similar goal – saving mankind from extinction. Then comes perhaps the most chilling sentence in the official press release for fans of the series. “The unthinkable becomes reality and Nod’s enigmatic leader Kane takes off for GDI headquarters.”

The game, scheduled for release in 2010, features a campaign mode for both sides of the… conflict? New to the series in Command & Conquer 4 is a 5-on-5 objective-based multiplayer mode, requiring players to strategise and cooperate on a level never before seen in the franchise.

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 they’ve been looking for,” said Mike Glosecki, Lead Producer of Command & Conquer 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.”

I predict GDI and Nod, working together… mass hysteria.

    Sounds great, love the CNC series and Tiberium Wars was a great game. I do hope they don’t lean towards ‘rush gameplay’ so much though, I like a game where turtling is an effective strategy, which didn’t seem possible in CNC3. Unfortunately the RTS scene seems to be getting split into 2 groups, games that are quick with small skirmishes and micro-management being the key (Starcraft 2, CNC3) or big long 4X style games with heaps of options and matches lasting for hours upon hours (Civ). I wish there was a little more in between, like say Sins of a Solar Empire.
