COMMAND & CONQUER RED ALERT 3
GOES GOLD
The Most Anticipated Strategy
Game of the Year Ships on October 28th for the PC
After seven years, the wait is
almost over. The return to the over-the-top, time-altered universe of Red Alert
– where parachuting armored bears, George Takei, war dolphins and psionic
Japanese school girls can co-exist without question – is almost here! EA Los
Angeles is announcing today that Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 has gone gold for
the PC and will ship to retail stores on October 28th, 2008.
Red Alert 3 brings back everything
fans enjoy about the series, from the fast, fluid and fun gameplay, to the
humorous tone and distinct art style, while adding new innovations for the
entire genre including three separate campaigns designed for fully co-operative
play and an unprecedented emphasis on naval gameplay. And it would not be a Red
Alert game without live-action cinematics featuring the largest cast in the
history of video games, starring in over an hour’s worth of high-definition
movies, including the likes of Gemma Atkinson, Gina Carano, Randy Couture, Tim
Curry, Kelly Hu, Jenny McCarthy, Jonathan Pryce, Autumn Reeser, J.K. Simmons,
Peter Stormare, George Takei and more.
Aside from the standard edition of
Red Alert 3, EA is also offering die-hard Red Alert and Command & Conquer fans
the Red Alert 3 Premier Edition – a limited edition package that includes a
bonus DVD with over an hour of exclusive content, including interviews with the
cast and a behind the scenes look at the shooting of the game’s cinematic
sequences. The Premier Edition is also packed full of additional Red Alert 3
goodness, including exclusive multiplayer maps, strategy tips from the
development team, the official soundtrack and an exclusive beta key to a future
Command & Conquer game. For fans of the series who want to reserve their version
of the Premier Edition or regular edition now, EA is also offering the following
special pre-order package*:

character into a bear – you don’t want to be seen rampaging through WAR’s
capital cities without it!
