Offizieller Ankündigungstext (dt.):
Die rote Macht ist zurück
EA entwickelt Alarmstufe Rot 3
Köln, 14. Februar 2008 – Nach siebenjähriger Abstinenz kehrt mit Command & Conquer: Alarmstufe Rot 3 eine der beliebtesten Echtzeitstrategiereihen zurück. Ein misslungenes Zeitreiseexperiment verfrachtet den Spieler in eine alternative Zukunft. Alarmstufe Rot 3 beschreitet mit einer kompletten Kooperations-Kampagne neue Wege im Echtzeitstrategie-Genre und bringt den für die Reihe einzigartigen schrägen Stil und das actionreiche Gameplay auf PC, Xbox 360 und PlayStation 3.
„Alarmstufe Rot ist dafür bekannt, Strategiefans mit einem eingehenden, abwechslungsreichen und innovativen Gameplay herauszufordern, während es gleichzeitig durch seine abgedrehte Story und das zugängliche Design auch Gelegenheitsspieler anspricht“, so Mike Verdu, Geschäftführer von EA Los Angeles.
„Es ist schon viel zu lange her“, betont Chris Corry, Executive Producer von Alarmstufe Rot 3. „Die Fans mussten über sieben Jahre auf ein weiteres Alarmstufe Rot warten. Deswegen arbeiten wir hart daran, dass sich das Warten auch gelohnt hat. Wir bleiben den Wurzeln von Alarmstufe Rot treu und fügen gleichzeitig neue Elemente wie die in Kooperation gespielte Kampagne hinzu. Mit einer neuartigen Fraktion und Seegefechten als zentralem Feature präsentieren wir das schnelle, flüssige Command & Conquer Gameplay auf völlig neue Art und Weise.“
Die verzweifelte Führungsriege der zum Scheitern verurteilten Sowjetunion verändert per Zeitreise die Geschichte, um Russland wieder in Ruhm erstrahlen zu lassen. Die Mission schlägt fehl und erschafft eine alternative Zeitachse auf der eine völlig andere Technikevolution erfolgte, eine neue Supermacht entstand und gerade der dritte Weltkrieg tobt. Im Osten sorgt das Reich der aufgehenden Sonne für eine dreigeteilte Kriegsfront zwischen den Alliierten, Sowjets und Japan. Alarmstufe Rot 3 präsentiert für die Reihe typische, außergewöhnliche Technologien und Einheiten, wie Teslaspulen, schwer bewaffnete Bären und Luftschiffe, sowie Kriegsdelfine, schwimmende Inselfestungen und transformierbare Panzer.
Eine Einladung zum Beta-Test der PC-Version von Alarmstufe Rot 3 wird im Command & Conquer 3 Erweiterungspack Kanes Rache enthalten sein
Command & Conquer: Alarmstufe Rot 3 wird zur Zeit von EA Los Angeles für PC, Xbox 360 und PlayStation 3 entwickelt.

EA REWRITES HISTORY IN COMMAND & CONQUER: RED ALERT 3
Be Among the First to Return to Red Alert with the Exclusive Beta Invite in Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection
Redwood City, Calif., February 14, 2008 – After a seven-year hiatus, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced the return of Red Alert, one of the most beloved and best-selling real time strategy (RTS) series of all time. Command & Conquer™: Red Alert™ 3, for the PC, Xbox 360TM video game and entertainment system and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, takes players on an epic adventure to a breathtaking alternate future spawned by time travel run amok . Developed by EA Los Angeles, Red Alert 3 breaks new ground in the RTS genre, featuring a fully co-operative campaign while bringing back the series’ light-hearted style and classic, action-oriented gameplay.
“The Red Alert games are known for challenging hardcore strategy gamers with depth, variety, and innovative gameplay. But they also belong to that rare breed of games that can draw in more casual players with their over-the-top stories, instantly accessible mechanics, and straight-to-the-fun design,” said Mike Verdu, General Manager of EALA. “With Red Alert 3, our team is continuing that proud tradition by introducing genre-first features like co-operative campaign play, which rewards veterans and casual players alike. In Red Alert 3, friends and family can always have your back!”
“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.”
In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.
Red Alert 3 asks the question “What If?” What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation, invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream? What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech military superpower? The end result is an imaginative and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility.
