Electronic Arts has officially revealed
plans to release an expansion pack to their alternate history RTS game
Command and Conquer:
Red Alert 3 this March. The expansion, titled Uprising, will be different in
a number of ways from previous C&C expansions. First it will be a stand alone
game that won't require Red Alert 3 be installed. Another difference is that it
will be released via a digital download only; there are no plans to release the
game via retail stores.
An epic single-player campaign expansion, the standalone title catapults players
deeper into the Red Alert universe, giving them more of the action-packed
gameplay they have been clamoring for, while offering a gauntlet of new and
compelling challenges with the new Commander's Challenge mode. Command & Conquer
Red Alert 3: Uprising will be available for digital download this March.
"Uprising is a game that in many ways reflects the feedback we have gotten from
the Command & Conquer community," said Amer Ajami, Senior Producer at EA Los
Angeles. "We're giving gamers more of what they want - more of the fast, fluid
and fun gameplay, more of the story we began to tell in Red Alert 3 and more
cutscenes featuring top-notch Hollywood talent. At the same time, we're excited
we're going to be able to bring new things to the mix, including new units and
the Commander's Challenge, which is a great way for players to hone their skills
and get deeper into the combat."
Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising takes players into the aftermath of the
epic battles in Red Alert 3, with the Soviets still reeling from a crushing
defeat, the Empire of the Rising Sun desperately trying to regain both honor and
identity and the seemingly victorious Allies finding themselves in the midst of
corruption and deceit within their own ranks. In addition to four
mini-campaigns, one for each faction and one bonus campaign centered on the
origins of the Empire of the Rising Sun’s commando Yuriko, Command & Conquer Red
Alert 3: Uprising will also introduce the new Commander's Challenge, enabling
the players to test their skills against a set of nine commanders from different
territories and difficulty levels in 50 unique challenges with their own special
rules and unique conditions.
In true Command & Conquer fashion, top Hollywood talent will be delivering the
gripping story in full HD live-action cinematics. Fan favorites Gemma Atkinson
and Ivana Milicevic will make their stunning return to the high ranks of the
Allied and Soviet leaderships and will be joined by an all new set of stars, who
will be announced soon
