IGN has a new Command & Conquer 3 Q&A, asking producer Mike Verdu about the project. Questions are about the storyline, a third faction, AI, units, special effects and multiplayer.

EA Europe has issued this press release, officially announcing the development of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (working title). The 2007 strategy game sequel takes place during 2047, with the GDI and NOD still battling for control of Tiberium.

The GDI, 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.
"Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars combines fast-paced gameplay with new ways to tell a story in an RTS game," said Mike Verdu, Executive Producer at EA Los Angeles (EALA). "We're building a next generation Command & Conquer game that is true to the spirit of this classic franchise, but is updated with state-of-the-art visuals, added strategic depth, and gameplay innovations that will move the genre forward. I am very excited to be working on this amazing game."

Planet Command & Conquer, linking to this forum post, offers word that the June issue of PC Gamer features a preview of Commander & Conquer 3. A Wikipedia entry has been set up, recapping some of the info revealed by the article. I'm just glad it isn't a new Red Alert game! As always please do not link to scans from the magazine.
