LAS VEGAS, Sept. 14, 1999 - Five years ago, Westwood Studios launched
Command & Conquer and changed forever the face of gaming. The series
went on to sell better than 10 million units and has become the most
popular PC strategy game franchise in the history.
Today, Westwood Studios proudly announces that Command & Conquer
is expanding into the 3D action genre with Command & Conquer
Renegade.
Renegade puts you on the C&C battlefield as the Commando, the one
man army made famous in the original Command & Conquer strategy
game. Instead of commanding troops from afar, you'll be on the
battlefield, in the middle of the war.
As the Global Defense Initiative's last, best hope for victory,
you'll wage war against the diabolical Brotherhood of Nod using not only
a vast array of weapons but more than a dozen vehicles from the Command
& Conquer universe. You'll be able to zip around on a rocket bike,
fry enemies with a flame tank or throw down death from above in an Orca
Fighter.
"With the rich world of Command & Conquer as the setting, I
think we're going to create an amazing action game," says Louis
Castle, executive producer of Renegade and executive
vice-president of Westwood Studios. "Intriguing characters, exotic
settings, high powered weapons, a fleet of vehicles, Renegade has just
about everything."
Renegade promises an intense multiplayer experience with a variety of
team play options as well as deathmatch variations. Multiplay will be
supported through Westwood Online, an online gaming service with more
than a million members.
More details about Renegade will be released in the coming weeks.
