Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 coming to PC and Xbox 360

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 coming to PC and Xbox 360 photo
     Xbox 360

Hungarian gaming magazine PC Guru leaked out April's cover a little early it seems. The magazine might be written in a made up language but the words Red Alert 3 come out as a clear indicator that the game will be making its way to the PC in the near future. Not to be outdone, the April issue of PC Gamer will also have a similar cover but with larger boobs. No word yet from EA but expect something shortly.

Considering Kane's Wrath is coming out in a little over a month, this franchise is getting a ton of attention and rightfully so. Does this mean that C&C Red Alert 3 will be making its way to the 360 also? Well, since it seems to be the giving season, Destructoid can also make a confirmation. Yes, C&C Red Alert 3 will in fact be making its way to the Xbox 360 in the near future. No date is set for either at this time, but we can assume that late '08, early '09 would be a safe bet.

 [Thanks Dyslexic for the heads up.]

EPIC WIN FOR ALL

Yuri: [the intro to Operation: Red Revolution] Comerade General, you have been a lot more tenacious that I have thought. What a great threat you are to your enemies. Do me this favor, grace me with your presence in Moscow. So, I may thank you in person.

Uh, you may want to get your facts straight. Kane's Wrath isn't out until the end of March.

I don't think many gamer kids these days would grasp the full significance of Commie Chicks. You'd have to grow in in the '80s or be fans of Ian Fleming.

RA is my favorite RTS series evar and I want moar infos. Could the cover be a hint at some new art style?

AgentMOO at 02/12/2008 23:44
That art style is fucking awesome, just like the KDMFDM album covers.



I've never played a C&C but I loved the RTS warcraft games. Where does one start with the C&C series?

As one of the Hungarian guys who are responsible for the magazine "PC Guru" I have to state that Hungarian is not more made up than... well... Chinese or German. At least we do not think that writing Latin characters in Ciryllic is funny. ;)

Everyone, and I mean everyone knows that RTS don't work on consoles. They better not ruin the best RTS series going.

@AgentMOO

Get The First Decade (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_The_First_Decade)
It's all the command and conquer titles before tiberium wars.

(Just make sure to download the patches, because it's a little buggy at first.)

Yeah, because Crysis didn't just come out and Orange Box quit smoking for PC thanks to the Halo 3 for 360.

Red Alert 3? About damn time.

Just... just don't make the PC version identical to the inevitably dumbed down console version, please.

Damn, now I wanna go back and play through the Red Alert series again, but I have too much other new shit to play through to justify it right now.

@Newsworthy

Eva was a'ight, but I personally preferred Zofia, myself.

As long as it's nothing like RA2... I don't want the "challenge" of having to clear every map with 3 prism-tanks again, ktnx.
