As mentioned, the story will once again be told through high-definition, full-motion video sequences with Joe Kucan reprising his role as Kane. MV: Our campaign will span an incredible 20 years of Command & Conquer history, taking players from the end of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun all the way through 2050 (three years after the events of Command & Conquer 3). How will the expansion continue the original game's story? Can we expect to see any of the Hollywood talent return for the expansion pack? GS: We recall that one of the team's main objectives with the original game was telling an in-depth story. There's a lot of cool stuff.and we can't wait for fans to get their hands on this expansion. We will debut a new in-game interface and control scheme that makes playing Command & Conquer on console even more fun. If that weren't enough, we've chosen to use the Xbox 360 version of Kane's Wrath as the platform for our next-generation console RTS controls. It's also worth noting that we've answered the call of many fans to bring back hover technology to GDI and cyborgs to Nod. Each subfaction favors unique strategies and styles of play. We're also introducing subfactions with new units and structures for each of the sides in Command & Conquer 3-the Global Defense Initiative, the Brotherhood of Nod, and the alien Scrin. Imagine a strategic layer added to the classic RTS game play that lets you wage war across the entire planet. When it comes to gameplay, our new "global domination" mode is the big story.

The arc of this story is epic in scope and the chapters set just after Tiberian Sun will give longtime fans of the series something special.

I'm particularly excited about the story and the campaign, where we will bridge the gap between Tiberian Sun and Command & Conquer 3, expand on what actually happened during the Third Tiberium War, and then take players into the future-after the events of Command & Conquer 3's story. MV: Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath features a new single-player campaign with a fresh story, a new set of live-action sequences with a celebrity cast, a new way to play Command & Conquer, and a wealth of new units, structures, and powers. New units for each faction? A new playable faction? What's the main focus of the expansion? GS: Give us an overview of what we can expect to see from the expansion pack. Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath is a natural extension of Command & Conquer 3 in many ways, but it also adds some things which are truly new. We also wanted to give players a new strategic layer for our classic fast, fluid, and fun Command & Conquer gameplay, add some cool features, and introduce a bunch of new units and structures.

We have a great story to tell, one that builds on the foundation established in Command & Conquer 3 and in previous games. MV: An expansion pack felt like the right next step for us. GS: Why did the team decide to create an expansion pack for Command & Conquer 3, rather than go off in a different direction or even start work on a full-fledged sequel? We sat down with EALA executive producer and vice president Mike Verdu for more details.Ĭommand & Conquer 3 returns with more units, a new campaign, and a new interface for consoles.

And now, the game is set to expand both on the PC and the Xbox 360 with Kane's Wrath, a new expansion that will add more gameplay, more units, and a unique new interface for the Xbox 360 version. The game also shipped with community tools to encourage serious competitive play, including real-time spectating tools and the ability to provide commentary on live matches. In addition to building in the kind of fast-moving real-time strategy gameplay that players might expect from a Command & Conquer game, the development team at EALA also went out of its way to craft an in-depth sci-fi story told onscreen by Hollywood talent such as Billy Dee Williams and Michael Ironside, as well as by former writer Joe Kucan, better known as Kane. The game went back to the classic struggle between the fictitious GDI and Brotherhood of Nod factions in a brand-new story that took place on a futuristic Earth invaded by ruthless aliens. Last year's excellent real-time strategy sequel Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars was something of a return to the long-lived strategy series' roots.
