Igår kunde vi meddela att #Red Alert 3 äntligen är på väg då bilder av kommande speltidningar visade sig innehålla artiklar om spelet i fråga. Idag meddelar #EA offciellt att spelet är under utveckling till pc, Xbox 360 och Playstation 3. De berättar att spelet kommer fortsätta med sin klassiska actionbetonade spelstil men att de slänger in en del nyheter, som till exempel att man kan köra kampanjen i co-op.

Handlingen kretsar kring att Sovjet är missnöjda med hur deras land är skött och åker tillbaka i tiden för att ordna till ett bättre land. Uppdraget går snett och en alternativ tidslinje uppstår där tekniska möjligheter skiljer sig från dem vi är vana vid. Ett tredje världskrig uppstår och det är här du, som en av tre valbara fraktioner, kommer in i bilden.

"The team is staying true to the series' roots while adding new elements like a co-operatively played story-driven campaign, an astounding new faction that will shake-up the Red Alert universe as we know it, and units that will help make Red Alert 3 everything our fans have been waiting for. And by bringing naval combat into the heart of the game design, we're transporting that fast, fun and fluid C&C gameplay to the high-seas in ways that you've never seen before."

In Red Alert 3, the desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, armored bears, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Red Alert 3 asks the question "What If?" What if every bizarre research project and technology experiment for the last 70 years had actually borne fruit? What if the Philadelphia Experiment, time travel theory, teleportation, invisibility, Tesla technology, and a hundred other intriguing research projects had all paid off and gone mainstream? What if the Soviet Union survived and thrived; what would it look like 10 years in the future? What if the Japanese Empire had never fallen and instead became the ultimate high-tech military superpower? The end result is an imaginative and playful vision of an alternate future filled with possibility.
