Essential Linkage: The fourth and final C&C game set to hit shores next year.
Command and Conquer is one of the main staples of the RTS scene, and while it's not always serious (at times being incredibly whimsical), that doesn't mean that it's a bad series.
Well we loved Command and Conquer 3, but the fourth installment of the game is set to return by 2010 to rock our socks off once more, bringing in a conclusion to the long-running story arc.
Still pitting the Brotherhood of NOD and GDI against one another, it takes place just after the end of C&C3 where we'll get a new campaign for each side as well as coop modes.
Perhaps cooler is that the multiplayer part has also been upped to a 5v5 setup, meaning ten hardcore players can duke it out with all the usual flaming NOD and high-tech GDI units.
There's also a few new features added into the game:
Introducing new class-based gameplay, mobile bases and persistent player progression throughout all game modes, Command & Conquer 4 offers players new, innovative and compelling strategic depth.
Best of all this is going to be a PC-exclusive release - if you enjoyed the C&C3 on Xbox 360 then you're gonna be left in the cold - for the rest of us this is great news.
Head over to VG247 to grab a little more detail about the game, and keep eyes peeled for when the cinematic trailer hits the official site on July 23rd 2009.
