Canned Command & Conquer titles now at 6, Arena trailer leaks

EA pulled the plug on Command & Conquer: Arena which was an MMORTS title in the works, however feature elements survived and made it into C&C 4.

This makes the 6th C&C to be cancelled that we have become aware off. Arena joins Tiberian Sun 2, Renegade 2, Continuum, Tiberian Incursion and Tiberium.


A trailer for the proposed Command & Conquer: Arena has leaked so we at least get to see what EA was pitching for before they buried the project. It suggests the 'war is over' but Arena battles now get put on to entertainment what's left of mankind.

Sounds like they made the right decision to can this one...

Yeah...maybe a positive sign on they are holding their word to "focus more on quality instead of milking the titles". Time will tell...just hope when they do make a new one it is a proper strategi game!

Nevertheless, that Titan looked mean :) I wish that they make a good strategy game, hopefully soon. The last one worthy of playing was C&C Generals :)

I liked Tiberium - for a few hours - but then it has been downhill IMO. I haven't been a huge fan and have always preferred either StarCraft or Total Annihilation. Lately Dawn of War was my preferred RTS game.
