EA has announced that its popular RTS franchise Command & Conquer will be coming to the PS3 for the first time this March.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Ultimate Edition will include everything from last year’s release of Red Alert 3 but the Blu-ray game disc will also feature bonus content including five exclusive multiplayer maps, over an hour’s worth of videos (including gameplay tips from the development team), the entire game soundtrack as well as game trailers and behind the scenes videos.

In addition to an emphasis on naval gameplay, Red Alert 3 includes fully co-operative, story driven campaigns that see the US, the Soviet Union and Japan battling it out in World War III. Check out the PS3 launch trailer below.

“Our team has been dedicated to bringing the RTS genre to console gamers and we are excited to have this opportunity to introduce PS3 owners to Command & Conquer,” said David Seeholzer, Development Director at EA Los Angeles.

“The PS3 is a very powerful platform, and the extra time we have had in development has helped us create the ultimate console RTS experience, with better graphics, improved performance, a ton of extras and some nice exclusive perks that cannot be found on any other version of Red Alert 3.”
