According to their Q&A earlier this year it's PC exclusive and has been in development since late 2009.

The studio is headed up by JVC if you've ever heard of him, though I don't think most people have.

We do have some pictures as well of what is likely rendered in-game art assets:

If you look closely you will notice the trucks look like more modern quad cannons and the tank a lot like GDI equipment.

Judging by their teasers, it will likely be mixing something resembling in game with CG for the trailer itself.

Awesome! All aboard!

Poimandres · Nov 28, 2011

I've always been fond of C&C. Here's hoping for a triumphant return!

We'll have to give that maligned dog C&C4 a go soon, you know. It's just sitting there in our accounts. Co-op or bust.

Radec · Nov 28, 2011

<3 C&C Generals.

Alot more enjoyable than Red Alert 3.

mr stroke · Nov 28, 2011

omg

Bring it on!

UnluckyKate · Nov 28, 2011

Yes! Bring it but don't fuck it

odhiex · Nov 28, 2011

My first ever strategy war game... (other than AOEII) was C&C Generals.

Sure why not...?

ThoseDeafMutes · Nov 28, 2011

Colonel Burton better make a return or there will be hell to pay.

Wolf Akela · Nov 28, 2011

Proceeding with credit transfer.

I hope they put option for even faster speed. I tried playing it again some time ago and found the game waaaaaaaaay too slow.

We weren't sure that it was Generals 2. From Nirolak recent comments, it sounds confirmed.

Proelite · Nov 28, 2011

I think the trucks look Russian. They might have dropped China for Russia with the whole resurgent Russia fad going on.

Rimfya · Nov 28, 2011

Look out, StarCraft!

Awesome news.

They should at least do it for the campaign. I believe the campaign was at 50% of the speed the mp is at.

I remember my favorite strategy in skirmish was to play as American and then capture China. Overlords with 10% more range and carrying snipers + rocket troopers.

There's loads of fun stuff you can do in skirmish that are simply not viable online. Generals, like most C&C, was "Tank Rush - The Game".

Proelite · Nov 28, 2011

The more I look at the tanks, the more they look like Crusader tanks. I guess that means we have USA and GLA back confirmed.

Killer · Nov 28, 2011

I always liked Generals, but doubt anon will do better job then Westwood.

Jigsaw · Nov 28, 2011

man i was really addicted to generals 1,i played it like 10 hours every day,it was the only c&c that "clicked" on me

oh scudbug how i miss you,awesome times

Bitch please.

Though I really do enjoy C&C's campy single player. The multiplayer always has been too imbalanced IMO, just a race to see who can produce the most tanks.

lol, no. If it's the same c&c formula than no.

Darklord · Nov 28, 2011

If those screen shots are xorrect then it's using the SAGE engine. The same engine they've been using for nearly 10 years! It's such a boring, stale look now. All the games look the same. Get rid of it ffs.

Fezan · Nov 28, 2011

C&C generals is still my favorite rts...so super exited...Please bioware dont mess this up

Prophet Steve · Nov 28, 2011

I hope it will be good, the first one is very fun to play with against other players since it is very easy RTS.

Madrical · Nov 28, 2011

All over my face! I loved C&C Generals, even though it wasn't the game RA2 fans were hoping for, it was just really fun and the tanks were AWESOME. Probably the last good C&C in my opinion. Will buy.

But is this the BioWare game that was teased? BW & C&C... odd formula. Very odd.

BioWare has a sub-studie called Victory Games which is a bunch of RTS people who has been working on a C&C related project since 09. So it's not like it is the doctors working on this.

Kind of agree but on the other hand later C+C's started to get some decent lighting on the go and the sage has had a lot of mod and community support over the years.

Sethos · Nov 28, 2011

Holy shit, the first Generals was sooo good!

Flayer · Nov 28, 2011

Generals was amazing online, and it wasn't a tank rush game if you played GLA since their tanks couldn't stand up to the USA/China ones so you had to mix things up (although the GLA tanks had awesome ambush/first strike capability with their rocket upgrade).

Mothman91 · Nov 28, 2011

Day one.

I used to rush that bomb upgrade with the demo. GLA general and mass produce those really cheap pick up trucks. Good memories. And also rushing with gla before they nerfed the build time on tunnels was the shit.

Guerrillas in the Mist · Nov 28, 2011

As much as I loved Generals, I don't know how much I could enjoy a sequel if they keep the mechanics similar, especially what with more recent RTS games by the likes of Relic that have really raised the bar.

subversus · Nov 28, 2011

I'm surprised by lack of Bioware hate in this thread. GAF, how so???

REMEMBER CITADEL · Nov 28, 2011

I'm a big C&C and especially Red Alert fan, but I've never tried Generals - and I believe I might have two copies somewhere. I've just started playing Earth Assault: Universe at War, but after I'm done with it, it's Generals time.

Even if you hate the game, it has a pretty bitchin' soundtrack.

I was a huge ra2 fan and played online for such a long time. It introduced me to online gaming.

Anyone else play Ra2 online? Generals looked fun and alot of ra2 players enjoyed it i just didn't buy it cuz my pc sucked.

Katana_Strikes · Nov 28, 2011

I'd love to see a return to form of C+C. Generals was the last good one for me... spent many months enjoying this game online and off.

Just a shame my laptop won't be able to handle what comes next

yep, this.

A new Generals would be so ACE

Tacitus_ · Nov 28, 2011

A new Command & Conquercraft?

Bleh. Gimme a new game in the Tiberium or Red Alert universe. Prefferably retcon Tiberian Twilight out of existance.

this move seemed to have ruined 2 games/franchises at once.

Typhoon_Ex · Nov 28, 2011

Red Alert 2 is still best. I wouldnt mind a new C&C but judging from their recent attempts my expectations are low.

CoffeeExpress · Nov 28, 2011

Red Alert 2 still the high point of the series fyi

edit: Typhoon_Ex, I like your style.

I like it, too. RA3 was a disappointment, if the demo is anything to go by. But again, I've yet to play Generals.
