LOS ANGELES, Calif. August 21 - Victory Games' reboot of Westwood's classic RTS, Command & Conquer, will feature a campaign mode update in 2014, publisher EA announced yesterday. The inclusion of campaign comes from fan feedback following the removal of C&C's story in 2012.
Command & Conquer is a free-to-play RTS running on EA's proprietary Frostbite 3 engine, whether or not the story missions will be free or purchasable is up in the air.
EA's description of the free-to-play C&C campaign:
"The first Campaign Missions will follow the Asia-Pacific Alliance (APA), as they attempt to stabilize a world that once again teeters on the brink of war. Having sat comfortably as the world's foremost geopolitical power for nearly a decade, the APA finds itself challenged on all fronts. The upstart European Union (EU), a high-tech, single-state entity with an increasingly expansionist agenda continues to flex her muscles, while a series of increasingly bloody uprisings have torn key APA and EU satellite nations asunder. Rumors point to a newly reconstituted Global Liberation Army (GLA) as the instigator, but witnesses have described technology far beyond the reach of any normal terrorist organization. Concerned, the APA dispatches an elite force to infiltrate the latest, most volatile rebellion, one targeting an EU backed dictator. Their mission - learn the truth about the GLA, undermine the EU and restore peace to the globe. "
The game is currently in closed beta, which launched this summer. Those interested in checking out the game early can sign up here, otherwise you'll have to wait till the game's prospective launch date of Fall this year.
Will the cheesy live-action cut scenes be thrown in? Here's to hoping!
