Exciting news out of Electronic Arts Inc. today, that
Command & Conquer 4 is indeed in development at EA Los Angeles and will be ready for shipping sometime next year! C&C4 will supposedly reveal the "epic conclusion" to the almost 15 year old Tiberium Saga that began way back in 1995. The sad news though, this will be the last Command & Conquer game, ever.

"Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with an amazing 15-year legacy. We are thrilled to bring the dramatic Tiberium saga to a conclusion in Command & Conquer 4. This game is designed to give fans all the answers they've been looking for."
-Mike Glosecki, Lead Producer of Command & Conquer 4 at EA Los Angeles.
In the press release, EA breifly explains of the new innovations we can expect to see and play with, such as new class-based gameplay, mobile bases and persistent player progression throughout all game modes. We also get a very first look at the storyline EA will be using.
QUOTE
The story of Command & Conquer 4 takes place after the events of the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars™. The year is 2062 and humanity is at the brink of extinction. With only six years left until the mysterious crystalline structure Tiberium renders the earth entirely uninhabitable, the two opposing factions - Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod - inevitably find themselves in desperation for the same cause: to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind.
July 24th, will be a huge day for us C&C fans. What can we expect? A new episode of BattleCast™ PrimeTime where we will be given an even more in-depth look at the game that will be Command & Conquer 4. Also the very first C&C4 trailer will be released on their website. Additionally, the same trailer will also air the night before (July 23rd) on Spike TV on the show Gametrailers TV.
