EA ANNOUNCES COMMAND & CONQUER 3 TIBERIUM WARS FOR THE XBOX 360

EA Los Angeles Brings the Top Selling* Real-time Strategy Series to the Next Generation

Chertsey, UK November 16, 2006 – Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™ (C&C 3) is in development for the Xbox 360™ videogame and entertainment system. C&C 3 boasts an intuitive console-specific control scheme, fast-action strategy gameplay, deep single player campaign, and an immersive multiplayer experience featuring massive battles where you take control of large armies on the battlefield of the future.

“The Command & Conquer series finally makes its return to the console after seven years,” said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EALA. “C&C 3 will help expand the RTS genre on the Xbox 360, building off of the foundation laid by the development of The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth II. EA is evolving the console controls so that strategy gaming plays and feels native to the platform.”

“C&C 3 is a perfect fit for the Xbox 360,“ said Mike Glosecki, Senior Producer at EALA. “Xbox 360 players will enjoy the action-packed online play and watching the epic Sci-Fi story of the game unfold as they play through the single player campaign.”

The year 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 Global Defense Initiative, 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.

The epic story of C&C 3, set in the Tiberium Universe, is seamlessly tied together with live action, high-definition video sequences featuring top Hollywood talent including Tricia Helfer, Josh Holloway, Michael Ironside, Billy Dee Williams, Grace Park, and more!

C&C 3 will be one of the most robust titles on Xbox LIVE™**, with a steady stream of downloadable content on Marketplace. The first dashboard theme featuring amazing concept art from the development team will be available soon.

From the team at EALA who brought you the critically-acclaimed The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™ II for the Xbox 360, C&C 3 will ship worldwide in 2007 for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC. This product is not yet rated by PEGI. For more information, please visit www.CommandAndConquer.EA.com.

I'm so happy

I had an incredible amount of fun with LOTR BFME II on the X360, and have been just waiting for other strategy games! I also can't wait till Halo Wars comes out.

BFME2 was sweet on PC, most reviews of the 360 version said it has the best control scheme for a console RTS ever, worth trying. Or if you don;t want to open it go rent it to test it out first
