BioWare? Making an RTS? Hold the phone! Is the thing we would be saying if this wasn't being developed by a renamed Victory Games under BioWare's sagely direction. That said, BioWare co-founder Ray Muzyka did drop an interesting tidbit: “We’re bringing BioWare’s vision for emotionally engaging gameplay and great attention to quality to the strategy genre and the Command & Conquer franchise.” Yes, China, you may have nukes, but how will you fare against this witty one-liner dialog option? OK, we doubt they'll take it that far, but – at the very least – it'll all look drop-dead-and-then-come-back-to-life-just-to-drop-dead-again gorgeous thanks to BF3's Frostbite 2 engine. See for yourself in a (sadly brief) trailer after the break.

Awesome. BioWare is one of the top game developers in my opinion so I'll definately take a look at this when it comes out.

And they are going to make us wait until 2013?
Already taking pre-orders for a 2013 release.
W-T-F?
Talk about funding R&D.
Looks cool though.

You think pre-orders are going to fund R&D? No one charges you anything until the game ships.

Thank god. C&C is my favorite franchise of all time.
When EA announced that C&C 4 was the end of the franchise, i was afraid no one else would pick it up.
and to go out with such a wimper....
hopefully bioware will do a better job than that asstastic Tiberium Twighlight...

I wonder if they'd ever consider re-doing C&C4 with Frostbyte.
Man, having Joe Kucan here in Edmonton would be amazing. He's got to be one of my most favourite video game actors.
If a C&C movie was ever made, he HAS to play Kane. There's no one else who could do it. And notice how he hasn't really aged?
Ok, I'm getting off track here.
Generals 2 hopefully lives up to the high quality that C&C once had.

Agreed. I knew they where going to do Generals next (they unoficially said it a while back) but I was hoping for a Renegade with Frostbite 2.

I don't understand. Epic and id are the only two companies that can make a game engine for licensing. No one else has the technical wherewithal. No one else has rock stars like CliffyB and John Carmack. Clifford Bleszinski even has a street name. How do you top that?

Scratch id off that list. They will not be licensing idTech 5 to third parties.

Killer. Hopefully it wont suck balls like the last couple C&C games.
Nice to see they're using the Frostbite 2 engine, very interesting. I wonder if it will be the next havok in terms of licensing and use.
