EA Reveals Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition
Press Release
Chertsey, UK – 5th January 07 - – Electronic Arts Inc., (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars: Kane Edition (CandC 3: Kane Edition) - a special, collector's edition for the PC that will ship in March 2007 simultaneously with Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars (CandC 3). Filled with an enormous amount of exclusive content, CandC 3: Kane Edition will be the definitive collectible for any Command and Conquer or Real-time strategy game fan.
CandC 3: Kane Edition will include an exclusive bonus DVD featuring a behind the scenes documentary, deleted scenes and a blooper reel from the live action video shoots, a series of gameplay strategy videos from the game designers themselves, and more. CandC 3: Kane Edition will also feature exclusive in-game content including five new multiplayer maps and three unique unit skins—one for each of the three factions in the game. Fans will also enjoy five exclusive wallpapers.
"The Command and Conquer fans are among the most dedicated in the world. It's very exciting to be able to create a special bonus edition of CandC 3 with our fans in mind," said Mike Verdu, Vice President and Executive Producer at EALA. "The exclusive maps, strategy tutorials, special unit skins and 'making of' video provide hours of enjoyment to anyone who loves Command and Conquer. The 'blooper reel' is just flat out funny. I can't wait for Command and Conquer fans to get their hands on this game."
Command and Conquer, the groundbreaking series that put the Real-time Strategy (RTS) genre on the map, is returning in full force with CandC 3. This highly-anticipated next chapter takes the popular series back to its roots in the Tiberium Universe and features the fast, fluid gameplay that Command and Conquer is known for and an epic tale that will redefine storytelling in RTS games.
It is 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.
The epic story of CandC 3, set in the Tiberium Universe, is seamlessly tied together with live action, high-definition video sequences featuring top Hollywood talent including Tricia Helfer, Josh Holloway, Michael Ironside, Billy Dee Williams, Grace Park, and more.
Currently in development at EA's Los Angeles studio, CandC 3 and CandC 3: Kane Edition will ship Worldwide in March 2007 for Windows PC. CandC 3 will also be available in 2007 for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system. These products are not yet rated by the ESRB, PEGI or USK.
