aThis post on Media Feet Underground offers up rumors that a new C&C-themed first-person shooter is being planned by EALA:
In a recent internal meeting at EALA on February 23rd, 2007, it was announced to the project team leaders of all EALA projects that the Crysis engine would be moving in-house in the very near future. Speculation began to arise internally about a Command and Conquer Renegade sequel seeing that the EALA studio is primarily known for RTS titles and Crysis is a next generation FPS engine. After discussing this with an EALA employee who wishes to not be named, it was stated that there is an extremely high chance that Electronic Arts’ LA studio will be developing a new FPS Command and Conquer title for the PC. It is not known if the title will be a true sequel to Renegade or a new stand alone IP however EA is very serious about exploring the options of the Crysis engine with current IPs. Stay tuned as we get more information
I don't think it's a hoax...but it IS rumor for the time being, and a good one at that. Besides, making an FPS in the C&C Universe would put cash in the coffers for EA, and they know it. I welcome a new C&C FPS, and believe an announcement will come before the year is up.
