Redwood City, CA (November 4, 2005) - Electronic Arts today
announced Command & Conquer The First Decade. Scheduled for release in February
2006, the collector’s edition will include a dozen C&C games and a bonus DVD of
commemorative video features.
From EA:
With over 23 million units sold worldwide to date, the C&C franchise has
defined the Real-time strategy (RTS) genre with cutting-edge visuals, epic
storylines, and rich mission complexities. The series has evolved over a decade,
spawned over a dozen titles, and continues to be the genre benchmark by which
all RTS games are measured. With its explosive style of warfare, the C&C
franchise has grown over the years to span multiple fictional genres, including
the science fiction Tiberium universe, the revisionist history of the Red Alert
universe, and a twist on modern warfare with Command & Conquer Generals.
“Command & Conquer The First Decade offers RTS gamers a way to relive the
history of C&C, and I’m thrilled to see this collection offered in one package,”
said Louis Castle, VP of Creative Development at EALA. “It seems like yesterday
when we were all pleasantly surprised by the way the gaming community wanted to
play this new type of strategy game.”
The Command & Conquer The First Decade bonus DVD will feature a half-dozen
exclusive video features including an interview with Louis Castle, who is also
co-founder of Westwood Studios the creator of the C&C franchise. As a special
bonus, C&C fans also have the opportunity to be featured on the exclusive DVD.
The search is currently underway to find the world’s biggest C&C fan that can
showcase and prove their undying devotion to the C&C series via video
