EA announced today that Command & Conquer 4 is in the works. The series has been out for 15 years and has sold a whopping 30 million copies.

What’s the new game going to involve?

The story of Command & Conquer 4 takes place after the events of the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. The year is 2062 and humanity is at the brink of extinction. With only six years left until the mysterious crystalline structure Tiberium renders the earth entirely uninhabitable, the two opposing factions – Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod – inevitably find themselves in desperation for the same cause: to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind. The unthinkable becomes reality and Nod’s enigmatic leader Kane takes off for GDI headquarters. What is Kane planning in the heart of his enemies’ base? Command & Conquer 4 draws the epic conclusion to the beloved Tiberium universe, where fans will learn the fate of Earth, Nod, Tiberium, GDI and most importantly,
Kane’s motivations behind his decade-long plan.

In addition to the two campaigns on the epic battles of GDI and Nod, which players will get to conquer alone or in a cooperative mode, Command & Conquer 4 will also feature a new 5v5 objective-based multiplayer mode, promoting teamwork and cooperation and delivering a social real-time-strategy experience never seen before in a Command & Conquer game.

My hope is that EA will keep cranking out some crazy-ass promos for the game. Check out the gems for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3:

• Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising Commander’s Challenge Trailer
• Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 Uprising Trailer: Flair vs. Bear 2
• Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising – Flair vs. Bear – Round 3

Ric Flair is out of control! Let’s see whether C & C 4 gets just as nuts.
