EA have announced the shipping of the first expansion pack for Command & Conquer 3. When punters pick up Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath they will find hidden in the packaging a key to the upcoming beta test for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3.
The following press release details the story line and details of both PC and Xbox 360 versions of the upcoming Command & Conquer 3:Kane’s Wrath.
The Messiah has risen again! Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) announced today that Command & Conquer™ 3: Kane’s Wrath has shipped to retail outlets in Australia for the PC. The expansion pack to last year’s award-winning** real-time strategy game Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars™, Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath introduces a new, hand-crafted campaign spanning two decades of Tiberium lore, six sub-factions and game-changing epic units to the Command & Conquer universe. And gamers who purchase Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection will also receive an exclusive key to the Command & Conquer™ Red Alert™ 3 beta starting this summer.
“The success of Tiberium Wars showed us that despite a five year hiatus, the fast, fluid and fun gameplay, deep storyline and live-action cinematics that make up the DNA of Command & Conquer still resonate with gamers,” said Jim Vessella, Kane’s Wrath producer. “With Kane’s Wrath we wanted to take the fiction further by tackling the stories our fans have been asking us to explore. This gave us a great opportunity to introduce new sub-factions and units that complement those stories while adding depth and variety to our core gameplay experience.”
