The Red Alert 3 expansion 'Uprising' has been officially announced on the Official C&C site. However this looks a little different to the last few C&C expansions we've seen recently as it appears this will be a stand-alone game.

EA's COMMAND & CONQUER RED ALERT 3 RETURNS WITH AN UPRISING

Epic Campaign Expansion for Award-Winning
Real-Time Strategy Favorite Hits PCs This March

The third iteration of the Command & Conquer franchise's beloved Red Alert series is returning with Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising exclusively for the PC. An epic single-player campaign expansion, the standalone title catapults players deeper into the Red Alert universe, giving them more of the action-packed gameplay they have been clamoring for, while offering a gauntlet of new and compelling challenges with the new Commander's Challenge mode. Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising will be available for digital download this March.

"Uprising is a game that in many ways reflects the feedback we have gotten from the Command & Conquer community," said Amer Ajami, Senior Producer at EA Los Angeles. "We're giving gamers more of what they want - more of the fast, fluid and fun gameplay, more of the story we began to tell in Red Alert 3 and more cutscenes featuring top-notch Hollywood talent. At the same time, we're excited we're going to be able to bring new things to the mix, including new units and the Commander's Challenge, which is a great way for players to hone their skills and get deeper into the combat."

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising takes players into the aftermath of the epic battles in Red Alert 3, with the Soviets still reeling from a crushing defeat, the Empire of the Rising Sun desperately trying to regain both honor and identity and the seemingly victorious Allies finding themselves in the midst of corruption and deceit within their own ranks. In addition to four mini-campaigns, one for each faction and one bonus campaign centered on the origins of the Empire of the Rising Sun's commando Yuriko, Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising will also introduce the new Commander's Challenge, enabling the players to test their skills against a set of nine commanders from different territories and difficulty levels in 50 unique challenges with their own special rules and unique conditions.

In true Command & Conquer fashion, top Hollywood talent will be delivering the gripping story in full HD live-action cinematics. Fan favorites Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic will make their stunning return to the high ranks of the Allied and Soviet leaderships and will be joined by an all new set of stars, who will be announced soon.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising is a standalone game and does not require Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 to play. This product has not yet been rated by the ESRB, PEGI or USK. For more information about Red Alert 3, please stay tuned right here at RedAlert3.com.

More example of EA cash-leeching.

They might as well have just delayed original game 3 months and included whatever content this expansion will include in it.

Expansions are supposed to be a year down the line, when the game is starting to trail off its 'interest-wave', not while the game is still at its premium price.

Background process. Has something to do with some activity going on somewhere. Sorting junkmail, I think. No value or interest. Doesn't do much except hog resource.

So this will be sorta like the crysis expansion thing, how you can just buy it on its own and it still works?

I still need to know how can be used a "naginata mech" unit :wink_new: Does the expansion bring the same "melee" and "ranged" logic used in Warcraft 3? I've seen Archers too...LOL it remembers me night elves archer + huntress :thumbsupsmiley:

I prefered the precision bomber as buildable aircraft rather than giant. Is it an epic unit?

And...no Yuri? I've read lots of people wanted him in the expansion....I'm quite doubtful about this expasion.

Please no epic units. That ruins the game. Not to mention CNC3's expansion were just bigger versions of each faction's strongest unit.

And I do agree with the posts about EA milking us and should have released it now instead of earlier to work things out better.

It's EA Store only. I certainly wouldn't buy it, even if I'd bothered with RA3. I've yet to hear much good about EA Store. Not to mention most of their stuff can only be bought in certain territories. Sorry AUS - no expansion pack for you >.<
