EA has🙈 confirmed that the Command & Conquer series is merging with the first-person shooter genre in a new title called Tiberium.

The publisher was short on details, but it did tell us that the game is penciled in for a late 2008 ▨release. Official images aren't expected until early next year, but there are scans already𝓡 doing the round as additional details have appeared in Game Informer magazine.

The game will be a squad-based shooter set 11 years on from t♑he third Tiberium war. It’s been de🌊scribed as Battlefield meets GRAW meets Rainbow Six: Vegas. Players strap on combat boots as Ricardo Vega, a GDI field commander who has come out of retirement.

Game Informer adds that the Scrin faction of Command & Conquer 3 w♓ill turn up as enemies in Tiberium - presumably along with Nod - and that as Vega, you'll be able to command infantry squads and vehicles and be able to call in air strikes.

It's not the first time that the Comman✅d & Conquer series has merged with the first-person shooter genre of course. But hopefully this will turn out better th꧑an Command & Conquer: Renegade.
