Red Alert 3 Limited Edition Packs Beta Access for 'Future' Command & Conquer Game

Related Topics – Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, xbox 360, PC

Beta access for a "future C&C game" will be included in a special edition of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 for the PC, European retailer GAME has revealed.

Billed as a GAME exclusive, the higher-priced "Premier Edition" of EALA's alternate history RTS game includes a metal box, five exclusive skirmish maps, a making-of DVD and beta access. A Red Alert 3-themed item for EA Mythic's upcoming PC MMO Warhammer Online will be included in both the standard and premier editions.

The studio had previously bundled beta access for Red Alert 3 with the PC edition of C&C3 expansion pack Kane's Wrath, which arrived early this year, but not the Xbox 360 release. Only one other C&C-themed project has been announced, the squad-based shooter Tiberium, though EALA has said the future of the C&C universe is "bright."

Red Alert 3 is slated to arrive on PC and Xbox 360 this October. Details on a North American release for the PC Premier Edition and the accompanying beta have yet to be revealed, though more details are expected as the game's release looms.

was so looking forward to RA3..but you can only install on 5 PC's for the lifetime of the game...If they put out a revoke tool, or simply said that they would eventually remove the DRM, I would pick it up day one, but I'm not spending 50 bucks for usage restrictions.

Meanwhile, Bethesda has Fallout 3 coming out, probably one of the best releases of the year along with L4D, with NO DRM hassels, which imo is a huge bonus and help in deciding which to buy this week.

Last week I picked up Fable 2, Dead Space, and now Guitar Hero WT.....I'm done after this...if money's tight, I buy extra sweatshirts and turn off the heat, save lots of money in this "sound economy".

A "Premier Edition" that features a metal box, making-of DVD, and five skirmish maps? How much of a premium are they going to sell this for?

Probably a beta access to the new C&C FPS they announced. It looks pretty cool from what we have seen so far.

I wonder if the mystery beta is C&C4. I mean they really left the story open at the end of C&C and Kane's Wrath.

Oh no... now it happens...
"A Red Alert 3-themed item for EA Mythic's upcoming PC MMO Warhammer Online will be included in both the standard and premier editions." Cross selling of EA games inside EA games. What does RA3 and Warhammer have in common? Nothing...right! Ok for example Blizzard does the same but Stuff from Diablo, etc. somehow fits the WoW World a bit better. I do not like whats comming next... :-/
