Command & Conquer: Generals 2 runs on Frostbite 2, coming 2013

BioWare's new game reveal for the Spike TV Video Game Awards have been just announced. As predicted, Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is a follow-up to the original PC game from 2003. Generals was a real-time strategy game, pitting the US against China and the Global Liberation Army.

The VGA reveal was very short, but it revealed that the sequel will be powered by Frostbite 2, the same engine that powered Battlefield 3.

The game is currently scheduled for 2013. Update: New studio called "BioWare Victory" is developing, and is planning a PC-exclusive release.

And check out some of the first screenshots:

  C&C4 had persistent connecting DRM; I'm guessing that this might have it too if they want to prevent duping. It's a foregone conclusion that it will require Origin, since it's an EA game.
