It’s been awhile since my last report. But the news was mostly dead in the C&C world until a few months back, actually I can’t believe I missed it but none other than Greg Black who was responsible for much of the original Command & Conquer Generals game as well as a few others including Command & Conquer 3 and Starcraft II. Well it appears that he’s now working at EA once again. Here’s a posting from his personal Twitter account posting the good news…
Survived my first day back at @EA
It’s a weird feeling being back after all this time. Can’t wait to show you all what I’m working on. 😎

Then later in early December he made another Tweet that got many antennas raised in thinking that a new “Black” project might be in development…
Just discovered the C&C soundtracks are on @amazonmusic . I forgot how great the Red Alert 3 soundtrack was. pic.twitter.com/wHZp8gtToM

Of course as you all know EA canceled Command & Conquer Generals 2 due to a lot of negative reaction, most of which I covered in a video I posted on YouTube if you haven’t seen it, be sure to check it out below.
So what do you guys think this could be? Some other form of Generals remake? Or another Command & Conquer Red Alert sequel? This could be nothing but the Command & Conquer brand is a cash cow and EA needs a big win after the Star Wars fiasco and what better way to get that win than with the next C&C game?!
