New Command & Conquer Now Officially Official
A new Command & Conquer is totally, definitely on the way. After a website blunder earlier in the week, EA has officially confirmed it.

The new game comes with an entirely new studio going by the name of Victory Games.

In an interview on the relaunched C&C site Jon Van Caneghem, VP of Strategy Games at EA and now GM of Victory states that, "Victory Games was created to be the focal point for the creation of strategy games for the Games Label at EA. Our current focus is making a AAA Command & Conquer game, which I am very excited to be working on. I’ve always been a big Command & Conquer fan."

Want some details on the game? Good luck. What we are informed is that, "I can tell you it’s a Command & Conquer game for the PC, but we’re not yet at a stage where I can go into any details—we’ll be prepared to make a more formal announcement later in the year."

Van Caneghem added that, "We’re not just working on a game, though. Our general focus is on the future of Command & Conquer. That means updating a lot of the core technology to create a stable base for future development, and leveraging that work on this first game."

The C&C site relaunch actually went live earlier in the week before being hastily kicked back to its pre-relaunch state. But now it's all OFFICIAL.
