ommand & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer’s over-the-top spinoff, is returning after a seven year break. Electronic Arts has confirmed that C&C: Red Alert 3 is in development for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 systems. In addition to the series’ trademark units and weapons—including troop-melting Tesla Coils, armored bears and transforming tanks—the game adds a new RTS feature, allowing two players to team up and play through the game’s campaign mode. EA isn’t talking about release windows yet, but the company said PC users will learn more about a beta program this summer when C&C 3: Kane’s Wrath ships.

 “It’s been too long.” said Chris Corry, executive producer at EALA. “Fans have been waiting for a new Red Alert game for seven years, and we’re working hard to ensure its well worth the wait. 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. 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.”
