EA LA's Red Alert 3, the RTS sequel with something for everyone, has
gone gold
and is on schedule for its October 28 launch on PC. The promised Xbox 360
version of the alternate-history strategy game is still in the works and will
take a little longer. It arrives on November 11.
The release of Red Alert 3 ends the seven year wait that hardcore fans have
had to endure. The upcoming sci-fi real-time strategy game "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." In addition,
Red Alert 3 continues the live-action cutscenes that made the series famous by
bringing in stars like Gemma Atkinson, Gina Carano, Randy Couture, Tim Curry,
Kelly Hu, Jenny McCarthy, Jonathan Pryce, George Takei and more.
On top of the gold announcement, EA has also revealed the contents of the game's
Premier Edition, which 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." In addition, it also features
"exclusive multiplayer maps, strategy tips from the development team, the
official soundtrack and an exclusive beta key to a future Command & Conquer
game." For those that preorder either the Premier or Regular editions of Red
Alert 3, they will receive:
- Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 - One of the most beloved RTS games
of all time for FREE!
- From Fighter to Assassin - A featurette on EliteXC superstar,
Gina Carano.
- Red Alert Retrospective - A look back at Command & Conquer Red
Alert, Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 and Command & Conquer: Yuri's Revenge
- Premier Edition Sneak Peek - Exclusive previews of Raising of the
Iron Curtain, From Pens to Pixels, Command School, and BattleCast Primetime
- Exclusive multiplayer/skirmish map for Command & Conquer Red
Alert 3 when the game ships
- Exclusive Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 desktop wallpapers
If those weren't enough goodies, EA is also including an additional bonus for
Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning players. "Everyone who purchases either the
Premier Edition or regular version of Red Alert 3 will receive a "Women of Red
Alert 3" poster and a redemption code for the Kossar's Helm, an exclusive
in-game item for EA and Mythic Entertainment's critical hit Warhammer Online:
Age of Reckoning. Using this traditional Soviet hat turns your character into a
bear - you don't want to be seen rampaging through WAR's capital cities without
it!"
