Command & Conquer 4 Storms Retailers

Command & Conquer is one of the longest-running video game franchises, starting off as a real-time strategy game and working in elements of first-person shooters. Now, after a public beta launched in February, Command & Conquer 4; Tiberian Twilight is now available for PC at retailers, priced at $49.99—and, if you’re new to the https://uat.www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/command-conquer-4-tiberian-twilight-enters-multiplayer-beta/ universe, Command & Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun and its Firestorm expansion pack are both available as free downloads.

“For the last decade and a half, fans have followed the twists and turns in the Command & Conquer fiction. Now, they will finally get answers about the intense battle between the GDI and NOD as the epic Tiberium saga comes to a stunning conclusion,” said lead designer Samuel Bass, in a statement. “We can’t wait for players to experience the grand finale that’s been fifteen years in the making.”

Command & Conquer 4 combines the classic strategy game elements of the franchise with more intense battles and competitive multiplayer play, along with new missions that get streamed directly into the game. Command & Conquer 4 also introduces new class-based systems and 5v5 multiplayer modes, in addition to single-player and co-op play modes.

Even though Command & Conquer 4 is supposed to be the end of the story we wonder whether any franchise that’s spawned eight major games, about a dozen expansion packs, and over 30 million units in sales really be concluded so easily—as long as customers are willing to buy it, we expect to hear rumblings from the Command & Conquer franchise for some time to come.

A viking slashes a tree in Volgarr the Viking 2.

Developer Digital Eclipse is working on a surprising project: Volgarr the Viking 2. The 2D retro sequel will launch on August 6 for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

The news is an out of left field reveal. The first Volgarr the Viking game released in 2013 and was made as an ode to 1080s classics like Ghosts 'n Goblins. Despite being a small release, it sold over 1 million copies over the past decade. As revealed during today's Guerrilla Collective stream, the series is coming back with a new sequel by Digital Eclipse, the team behind this year's Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story.

3 Days of Play PS Plus games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Key art for Streets of Rage 4.

June 2024 is shaping up to be a pretty great month for PlayStation players. Not only are we coming off an entertaining State of Play showcase, but a new Days of Play initiative surrounding all the video game showcases this month is bringing a lot of new PS Plus additions with it. Many of those games hit PS Plus this week, and three in particular stand out to us.

For owners of Sony's oft-neglected PlayStation VR2, the first game is one of its rare exclusives that take full advantage of the headset's eye-tracking by seeing how often players blink. The next is a new PS Plus Essential game that's a revival of Sega's classic beat-'em-up series for the modern gaming era. Finally, the last title is an atmospheric and eerie fishing game that should entice fans of Lovecraftian horror.

3 first-party Xbox Game Pass games to try this weekend (June 7-9)
Gears 5 Kait Hero Close Up

Microsoft will hold an Xbox Games Showcase and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct. this Sunday. These shows will provide a much better idea of what to expect from Xbox over the course of the next year or two. That's really needed right now, as Microsoft has struggled to keep online discussions around Xbox positive as it went multiplatform with some games, laid off thousands of developers, and outright shut down the developers of Hi-Fi Rush and Redfall. Based on leaks and my personal expectations for the showcase, there are three games you can play on Xbox Game Pass this weekend to prepare for the event.

The first is the latest first-person shooter in a long-running series by id Software that might be getting a medieval-set spinoff. After that, we have the fifth entry in a sci-fi Xbox series that still looks fantastic on Xbox Series X/S even though it came out in 2019. Finally, you can prepare for Avowed with the latest RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, a satirical sci-fi game where player choice is critical.
