You can't really have a Command & Conquer game without a group of B- and C-list actors appearing in badly acted full motion video sequences. Red Alert 3 won't disappoint here, Electronic Arts has announced.

The cast for the PC/X360 strategy game will include the likes of Jenny McCarthy, Tim Curry, Kelly Hu, Jonathan Pryce, J.K. Simmons, Peter Stormare, George Takei and Randy "The Natural" Couture. Following is the cast announcement trailer.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is currently in beta, and ships this fall.

Publisher Electronic Arts has delivered a new batch of screenshots from EALA's alternate history RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. Planned for both standard and limited edition retail configurations, Red Alert 3 is slated to arrive on PC and Xbox 360 this October. The PlayStation 3 version was placed on indefinite hold earlier this summer.

Beta access for a "future C&C game" will be included in a special edition of Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 for the PC, European retailer GAME has revealed.

Billed as a GAME exclusive, the higher-priced "Premier Edition" of EALA's alternate history RTS game includes a metal box, five exclusive skirmish maps, a making-of DVD and beta access. A Red Alert 3-themed item for EA Mythic's upcoming PC MMO Warhammer Online will be included in both the standard and premier editions.

The studio had previously bundled beta access for Red Alert 3 with the PC edition of C&C3 expansion pack Kane's Wrath, which arrived early this year, but not the Xbox 360 release. Only one other C&C-themed project has been announced, the squad-based shooter Tiberium, though EALA has said the future of the C&C universe is "bright."

Red Alert 3 is slated to arrive on PC and Xbox 360 this October. Details on a North American release for the PC Premier Edition and the accompanying beta have yet to be revealed, though more details are expected as the game's release looms.

The multiplayer PC beta for EALA's strategy title Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 has kicked off, allowing the first 2,000 folks that registered beta keys to begin playing.

"We are starting the activation process with a very small pool of testers and will work to ramp this number up to thousands and thousands of Comrades around the world on a weekly basis, likely multiple times a week throughout the rest of this month and August," EALA noted on the game's official site.

The studio expects the next wave to bring in at least 10,000 more participants. At present, the only way to register for the beta is to use the key that was bundled with the PC edition of the C&C3 expansion pack Kane's Wrath.

The full version of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 arrives on PC and Xbox 360 this October. The project was originally slated to hit PlayStation 3 as well, but was later cancelled due to the PS3's "exotic and tough" development environment.

Following the indefinite hold of the PlayStation 3 version of EALA's Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PC, 360), publisher Electronic Arts has revealed that the title was shelved due to development issues on the platform.

"We actually announced a PS3 version early on but that was when we were still doing a lot of technical exploration of the architecture," EALA producer Amer Ajami told Videogamer. "PS3 is a very powerful system but as you guys know it's very exotic and tough to develop for and our engine really at the time wasn't designed for PS3."

Ajami further noted that EALA "might go back and do something with the PS3 later on."

Electronic Arts had not divulged any reason for the cancellation when word came early last month, stating only that it was "refocusing resources" towards the... Read more

Electronic Arts has released five more Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 screenshots, showing more from the sci-fi strategy game sequel in development for PC and Xbox 360. Development of the PlayStation 3 version of the game was recently put on hold. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 ships this fall.

Electronic Arts today affirmed that it has ceased development on the PlayStation 3 edition of the alternate-timeline RTS Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.

No specific reason was given for the move, though the EA stressed that the EA Los Angeles-developed title will still arrive on PC and Xbox 360 this fall.

Red Alert 3 was to be the first traditional C&C entry on PlayStation 3, with the Xbox 360 having received C&C3: Tiberium Wars last year and C&C3: Kane's Wrath due out this summer. The first-person shooter spinoff Tiberium is still slated to hit PC, PS3 and 360.

"We can confirm that the development of Red Alert 3 for PS3 has been put on hold," the company told videogaming247. "EA LA is focusing resources on development for PC and Xbox 360 which will ship simultaneously this autumn."

Word of the RA3's cancellation began circulating when a recent promotional clip only mentioned the PC and 360 versions, and gained further momentum yesterday when retailer GameStop removed the PS3 edition from its release list.

The first gameplay footage from EA's strategy sequel Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, complete with blaring sirens and a Hell March remix, has today been released.

Developed by EA Los Angeles (Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars), Red Alert 3 will add co-op campaign play, new units, and a new Japanese faction to the alternate history strategy series.

The game is now set for an October release on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Electronic Arts has released five new screenshots from Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the alternate reality World War 3 strategy game in development for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

The shots show several sea-based units. No release date has been announced for the EA Los Angeles project.

The first expansion pack for the PC edition of Command & Conquer 3 is in manufacturing and will arrive at retailers on March 26, publisher Electronic Arts has announced.

Developed by EALA, the studio behind Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (PC, X360), Kane's Wrath includes 13 new missions, 6 new sub-factions, and a key to the PC beta for the recently unveiled Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 (PC, PS3, X360). Details on the beta are set to arrive in the summer.

An stand-alone Xbox 360 release of the expansion will arrive in the summer, complete with a new radial interface and an exclusive challenge mode.

Following the title's unveiling earlier this week, publisher Electronic Arts has officially announced Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Developed by EA Los Angeles, the same studio that handled Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (PC, X360), Red Alert 3 will add co-op campaign play, new units, and a new faction to the alternate history strategy series. According to executive producer Chris Corry, naval combat has been brought "into the heart of the game design."

No release estimate was provided, though PC players will be able to gain beta access by purchasing the Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath expansion or the Command & Conquer 3 Limited Collection later this year. Specifics on the beta program are slated to arrive this summer.

"The Red Alert games are known for challenging hardcore strategy gamers with depth, variety, and innovative gameplay," said EA LA general manager Mike Verdu. "But they also belong to that rare breed of games that can draw in more casual players with their over-the-top stories, instantly accessible mechanics, and straight-to-the-fun design."

A set of screenshots, a piece of concept art, and a video interview accompanied the announcement.

Publisher Electronic Arts and magazine PC Gamer have pulled back the iron curtain, revealing the existence of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. The game marks the first entry in the spin-off RTS series since the Yuri's Revenge Red Alert 2 expansion pack in 2001.

With the title featured in PC Gamer, a PC version is a given, though it is not yet known if it will arrive on a console or consoles a la EA Los Angeles' Command and Conquer 3 Tiberium War (PC, X360).

More details on Red Alert 3 are expected when the issue hits stores March 4. The game signifies EA's growing interest in the Command & Conquer brand, with two other C&C efforts--the C&C3 expansion pack Kane's Wrath (PC, X360) and the squad-based shooter Tiberium (PC, PS3, X360)--currently under development.
