Command & Conquer, the F2P reboot of the legendary RTS series, is accepting closed beta applications starting now.
Jon Van Caneghem, General Manager of Victory Games, had this to say:
The community has always been and will continue to be paramount to the success of Command & Conquer. Being a live platform, we have the freedom to be responsive and to deliver content that our players care about at launch and beyond.
As developers, this sort of direct and evolving relationship with our audience is incredibly exciting and we can’t wait to hear what players think about this new Command & Conquer experience.
The game includes many different Generals, which will allow players to be be in full command no matter which of the three varied factions – Global Liberation Army, European Union and Asia Pacific Alliance - they choose.
Each General will have a unique arsenal, battle style, and personality; fan favorite modes likes Multiplayer Deathmatch, and Solo Skirmish will be back as well.
Command & Conquer, which is running on Frostbite engine 2, will be available for free for the PC platform later in 2013; the closed beta is supposed to start during the Summer.
