Command & Conquer 3 Expansion Announced

A video game villain first introduced over a decade ago is back for yet another round. Electronic Arts announced on Wednesday that an expansion pack for the recently released Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is in the works, and it will center on everyone’s favorite overacting evil leader: Kane.

Command and Conquer: Wrath of Kane will take players through 20 years in the C&C universe, from the rebirth of the Brotherhood of Nod following the Second Tiberium War, through the Third Tiberium War, and on. The game’s trademark cut scenes will return, featuring Joe Kucan as Kane, the original actor who has played him in every C&C game since the original.

Game-play details were slim in EA’s press release. One feature of note was a scaling element to the game, which will allow players to build bases and move armies on a global scale, then jump down to the local level to command armies locally. Gamers picking up the Xbox 360 version of the game will also get a new radial interface.

“I’m excited that we’re able to go back to the Tiberium universe with Command & Conquer 3: Kane’s Wrath,” said Mike Verdu, vice president of EA Los Angeles, in a statement. “This expansion has an impressive new single player campaign, a new global strategic layer that adds depth to the familiar Command & Conquer style gameplay, and several fun, all-new toys that range from versatile combat soldiers to giant armored walkers.”

Command and Conquer 3: Wrath of Kane will ship in spring 2008 in North America.

Every game announcement from Nintendo’s E3 2021 Direct
Key art for Metroid Dread on Switch.

Heading into the final day of E3 2021, there was a common sentiment going around social media: It was up to Nintendo to "save" this year's show. That was no easy task. E3 has largely been underwhelming this year outside of Microsoft's mega-showcase. Placing all of one's hopes and dreams on a company that often delivers uneven digital showcases felt like a recipe for disappointment. No matter how much Nintendo tried to set expectations in advance, fans were already setting themselves up for failure the night before as Mario Kart 9 trended on Twitter.

Against all odds, Nintendo delivered. The company put on its best Direct showcase in years with tons of surprises. Breath of the Wild 2 was the big reveal, but it was far from the most exciting announcement. Metroid Dread was a genuine shock, bringing a new original 2D Metroid to the Switch. We saw new a Wario Ware, Mario Party, Advance Wars, and way more. It was a mile-a-minute show, so here are all the biggest announcements.
