Command And Conquer Generals 2 Will Be Free-To-Play

None

Electronic Arts has announced that the upcoming RTS Command and Conquer Generals 2 will be free-to-play when it launches as the first entry in a new online service simply titled “Command and Conquer.”

Command and Conquer will launch next year as a general platform for a multitude of future titles in the series, with Generals 2 constituting the first “universe” in the service.

EA says that that Generals 2, which is being developed by BioWare Victory, will be just the first of “many free offerings.” Other planned “universes” include Red Alert and Tiberium.



“We are thrilled about this opportunity to transform Command and Conquer into a premier online experience,” said EA’s VP/GM Jon Van Caneghem in a statement. “For nearly two decades, this franchise has existed as something you buy; now we are creating a destination where our fans will be able to access the entire Command and Conquer universe, starting with Generals and continuing with Red Alert, Tiberium, and beyond.

“With Frostbite 2, we are able to keep an emphasis on the AAA quality our consumers expect while staying true to the RTS gameplay they know and love – all available online for free.”
