Kane's Wrath - First Details on the Command And Conquer 3 Expansion Pack.
Last year's excellent real-time strategy sequel Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars was something of a return to the long-lived strategy series' roots. The game went back to the classic struggle between the fictitious GDI and Brotherhood of Nod factions in a brand-new story that took place on a futuristic Earth invaded by ruthless aliens. In addition to building in the kind of fast-moving real-time strategy gameplay that players might expect from a Command & Conquer game, the development team at EALA also went out of its way to craft an in-depth sci-fi story told onscreen by Hollywood talent such as Billy Dee Williams and Michael Ironside, as well as by former writer Joe Kucan, better known as Kane. The game also shipped with community tools to encourage serious competitive play, including real-time spectating tools and the ability to provide commentary on live matches. And now, the game is set to expand both on the PC and the Xbox 360 with Kane's Wrath, a new expansion that will add more gameplay, more units, and a unique new interface for the Xbox 360 version. We sat down with EALA executive producer and vice president Mike Verdu for more details.
Kane's Wrath: First Look.
A little more than a week after announcing its existence, EA gave us a first look at Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath, an expansion pack to this year's hit real-time strategy game. Kane's Wrath, which will ship for the Xbox 360 and PC, will tell the story of how the evil Brotherhood of Nod recovers after its defeat in the Second Tiberium War, as seen in 2000's Command & Conquer Tiberian Sun Firestorm. However, the expansion will also cover a 20-year stretch of C&C history, right up to and beyond the events seen in Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.
The campaign will focus mainly on the Brotherhood of Nod, and it will come in three acts. The first will cover the aftermath of the Second Tiberium War. The second will cover a parallel story to the events in Command & Conquer 3. The third and final act will extend to the future and involve Kane's "ascension."
