Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising Will Feature Four New Campaigns


Speaking in a recently featured interview at Gamespot, RA3 producer, Greg Kasavin hinted that the new expansion pack will have four new campaigns that continue the story from RA3. He stated:


Uprising features four new minicampaigns, three of which serve as epilogue chapters from the perspective of each of the game's three factions. Chronologically, they take place after the conclusion of Red Alert 3 from the Allies' perspective, seeing as how the laws of parallel universes dictate that time always moves forward from the perspective of the good guys winning.

One of the campaigns we're most excited about is centered squarely on the Empire of the Rising Sun's psionic commando, Yuriko Omega, and how she got to be a troubled, ill-tempered young woman who can tear apart aircraft carriers with barely a thought. The Yuriko campaign looks and plays different from the core game, and we think players will love it as a refreshing and viscerally satisfying change of pace.


He also said that there will be 30 new skirmish maps introduced with uprising and the inclusion of a challenge mode that sounds like a more unique skirmish mode with different AI character that you fight against.

He said there will be new units in the game and picked his favourite among the new units.

We think Red Alert 3 players are going to be very happy with the unique, powerful new units we've added in Uprising. One of my favorite to use is the Empire of the Rising Sun's Giga Fortress, the biggest and strongest new unit we're introducing. It's this gigantic, starfish-shaped floating fortress that can transform into a monstrous, flying Sinistar-style head that shoots a devastating beam weapon out of its mouth. It should more than make up for the Empire's lack of a heavy flying unit until now.


Great, more giant robots! To read the entire interview, go here.
