EA announces Command & Conquer: Generals 2

At the Spike Video Game Awards this weekend past, BioWare announced the studio’s newest project, Command & Conquer: Generals 2.

Powered by the Frostbite 2 engine, Generals 2 promises to once again put players in the middle of an all-out war between three unique factions.

Command & Conquer: Generals 2 is being developed by a new BioWare studio, BioWare Victory, and is coming exclusively to the PC in 2013.

“We’re bringing BioWare’s vision for emotionally engaging gameplay and great attention to quality to the strategy genre and the Command & Conquer franchise,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, head of BioWare. “I am excited to welcome BioWare Victory to our label. They are a great addition and the team is working hard to make sure Generals 2 truly immerses and engages players into this intense, gritty, modern war experience.”

In Command & Conquer: Generals 2, world leaders are mere seconds away from signing a peace treaty and bringing an end to a global war when a devastating terrorist attack rips through the conference, killing everyone in attendance, leaving only the world’s military superpowers in control.

It’s up to players to assume their roles, take command of their forces and conquer global terrorism. Players will take control of three unique factions in the single-player campaign, and with friends online in cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.

the last 2-3 CnC games were balls, why won't this be too?

the CnC series died when EA got their hands on it.

They will probably ruin it unless the do a starcraft 2 and "update" it.

No doubt it will have lame shit like no bases/economy and squirrel cavalry.

I just hope they keep the jack-offs that made RA3 and the last Tiberium title away from this part of the franchise.

Probably just providing professional advice on how to best strip any depth out of your title.

This from a new studio formed by EA, Victory Games. The old EA LA team which was responsible for all of the post-Westwood titles was mostly laid off. Victory is headed by Jon Van Caneghem, the creator of Might and Magic.

It's DX10/11 only, Hoorah for embracing recent PC tech! Rest in Pieces DX9 + XP!

It's using the Frostbite 2 Engine.

Aslong as they stick to the tried and true c&c system of base building, and army building theyll be ok.
Deviate from that and they would possibly piss off c&c fans.

Here's the teaser from the VGAs.

It looks like they've put the destruction features of Frostbite 2.0 to good use.

WTF? I can understand a RPG studio like Mythic being rebranded under Bioware, but a Strategy studio? Oh well, at least EA seemingly meddles a lot less in Bioware's affairs than they do with their other studios. Eg Bioware have their own forums and social networking site.
