Command & Conquer: Tiberian Twilight

It seems that the leak from last week was true, as EA has now officially unveiled its revamped Command & Conquer site. The new site confirms that Victory Games will head up Command & Conquer development, with industry veteran Jon Van Caneghem at the helm.

An internal interview with Van Caneghem also confirms the studio locations in Los Angeles, Texas, and Shanghai, China, and their first project being a new "AAA" Command & Conquer game.

The new site focuses quite a bit on making a "stable base for future development" of the Command & Conquer series, so paired with a brand new studio it seems that EA has big plans to iterate on the franchise.

    It was fucking god awful. Single biggest disappointment I've ever personally had in gaming. It wasn't a Command and Conquer game. Even if you take the title off and try to let it stand on its own as some kind of independent game, it's STILL fucking terrible. The game play was boring as all hell and the plot was non-existent.
    
    Stick with C&C 3 and Red Alert 3 for now. Avoid C&C 4.
