CHERTSEY, UK - April 20, 2006 – The epic struggle between the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and The Brotherhood of NOD continues...and the third Tiberium War is about to begin. Welcome back, Commander. Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Command & ConquerTM, the groundbreaking series that put the Real-time Strategy (RTS) genre on the map, is returning in full force with Command & ConquerTM 3 Tiberium Wars*. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command & Conquer is known for and a gripping story that will redefine storytelling in RTS games.
It is 2047 and the stakes could not be higher. Tiberium—a self-replicating alien substance that has infected the Earth—is spreading like a radioactive ice age. The GDI, a high-tech alliance of the world's most advanced nations, is fighting to contain Tiberium, but Kane, the megalomaniacal leader of The Brotherhood of NOD has other plans for Earth. Kane's secret society turned superpower is bent on using Tiberium to take control and transform humanity into his twisted vision of the future. All-out war rages over Tiberium and the fate of the planet rests in the balance.
"Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game," said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). "We're building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game."
"We have been waiting to reveal this game for quite some time and are thrilled to bring the series back to where it all began," said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EA Los Angeles (EALA) and co-founder of Westwood Studios, creator of the Command & Conquer series. "The Tiberium universe is a personal favourite of mine, and this saga's new direction will prove to be a worthy addition to one of the most celebrated RTS franchises."

** According to NPD Group
auf deutsch:
Electronic Arts wird voraussichtlich im Jahr 2007 das PC-Spiel "Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars" (Arbeitstitel), den Nachfolger des wegweisenden Begründers der Echtzeitstrategie "Command & Conquer", veröffentlichen.
Peter Larsen, Product Manager: ""Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars" kombiniert ein rasantes Gameplay mit einer für das Genre der Echtzeitstrategie völlig neuen Erzählstruktur. Das Studio entwickelt ein modernes "Command & Conquer"-Spiel, das seinen Wurzeln treu bleibt, gleichzeitig aber mit einer modernen Grafik, einer nie da gewesenen strategischen Tiefe und neuem Gameplay Maßstäbe setzt."
In "C&C 3 Tiberium Wars" geht der epische Kampf zwischen der Global Defense Initiative (GDI) und der Bruderschaft von NOD mit dem dritten Tiberiumkrieg weiter. Im Jahr 2047 ist der Einsatz hoch wie nie. Das selbstreplizierende Tiberium breitet sich wie eine radioaktive Eiszeit auf dem gesamten Planeten aus. Während die GDI, eine hochtechnisierte Allianz der führenden Industriestaaten der Erde, verzweifelt versucht, das Tiberium zu isolieren, hat Kane, der größenwahnsinnige Anführer der Bruderschaft, von NOD andere Pläne. Kanes Geheimbund will das Tiberium nutzen, um die Menschheit zu unterwerfen und Kanes düstere Vision der Zukunft zu verwirklichen. Es entbrennt ein blutiger Krieg um das Tiberium und die Zukunft der Menschheit.
"Mit 'Tiberium Wars' schaffen wir ein Next-Generation-Strategiespiel, das auf der klassischen 'C&C'-Reihe fußt. Mit State-of-the-Art-Grafik, strategischer Tiefe und weiteren Innovationen werden wir das Genre auf eine neue Stufe heben", so Mike Verdu, Executive Producer von EA Los Angeles.
