EA unveils Command & Conquer Generals 2

During the Spike Video Game Awards, BioWare have announced the studio’s newest project, Command & Conquer Generals 2.

Powered by Frostbite 2, Generals 2 will feature cutting-edge visuals, sound, and destruction that will bring a new level of fidelity to the series and once again puts players in the middle of an all-out war between three unique factions. Command & Conquer Generals 2 is being developed by a new BioWare studio, BioWare Victory, and is coming exclusively to the PC in 2013.

“We’re bringing BioWare’s vision for emotionally engaging gameplay and great attention to quality to the strategy genre and the Command & Conquer franchise,” said Dr. Ray Muzyka, General Manager of EA’s BioWare label. “I am excited to welcome BioWare Victory to our label. They are a great addition and the team is working hard to make sure Generals 2 truly immerses and engages players into this intense, gritty, modern war experience.”

“For the last eight years, Command & Conquer fans have been begging for a return to the Generals universe,” said Jon Van Caneghem, Executive Producer of Command & Conquer Generals 2. “With Generals 2, we are bringing the Command & Conquer franchise back to its roots, blending strategic gameplay with fast-paced action -- all set in visually stunning theaters of war powered by Frostbite 2.”

In Command & Conquer Generals 2 players will take control of three unique factions in a single-player campaign, and with friends online in cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.
