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

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.
