EA announced that the C&C series will be making it's way to the Xbox 360 next year in the form of C&C 3 which boasts several 360 specific extras including a unique console-specific control scheme
Mike Verdu from EA said:
“The Command & Conquer series finally makes its return to the console after seven years, 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.”
The game will take place in the year 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.
EA also revealed that C&C 3 will support Xbox LIVE, along with a steady stream of downloadable content on Marketplace. A dashboard theme featuring concept art will be available soon.
C&C 3 will ship worldwide in 2007 for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
