Work on Red Alert PS3 officially halted

But EA hasn't said why.

EA has halted work on its first PS3 real-time strategy game, Red Alert 3.

The build queue has most definitely been paused, the publisher told Eurogamer, but why, or if and when it will start up again is still under wraps.

Meanwhile, the Xbox 360 and PC versions are unaffected by the decision, and will benefit from the refocused development resources.

The master plan is still to release the third Red Alert instalment on those platforms this autumn.
