Clearly whoever is managing the Twitter account over at EA’s UK PR division has an itchy finger, as a tweet went up today “announcing” that Command & Conquer 4 is in development at the company’s Los Angeles studio.
Unfortunately, we are still empty handed with info, as the press release linked in the tweet redirects to a nonexistent URL, leading us to believe this announcement was made prematurely — accidentally even.
Rumor has it the fourth entry in the series will keep things fresh with an arsenal of RPG elements, while staying true to the rock-solid RTS formula of past installments.

Hopefully it comes out better then C&C3. The story is well off a good beating path so maybe they'll fix the gameplay up more.

“Command & Conquer is a powerful franchise with an amazing 15-year legacy. We are thrilled to bring the dramatic Tiberium saga to a conclusion in Command & Conquer 4.

The story of Command & Conquer 4 takes place after the events of the critically acclaimed Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars™. The year is 2062 and humanity is at the brink of extinction. With only six years left until the mysterious crystalline structure Tiberium renders the earth entirely uninhabitable, the two opposing factions – Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod – inevitably find themselves in desperation for the same cause: to stop Tiberium from extinguishing mankind. The unthinkable becomes reality and Nod’s enigmatic leader Kane takes off for GDI headquarters. What is Kane planning in the heart of his enemies’ base? Command & Conquer 4 draws the epic conclusion to the beloved Tiberium universe, where fans will learn the fate of Earth, Nod, Tiberium, GDI and most importantly, Kane’s motivations behind his decade-long plan.
In addition to the two campaigns on the epic battles of GDI and Nod, which players will get to conquer alone or in a cooperative mode, Command & Conquer 4 will also feature a new 5v5 objective-based multiplayer mode, promoting teamwork and cooperation and delivering a social real-time-strategy experience never seen before in a Command & Conquer game.
