Red Alert 3 PC expandalone in March

Digi-distributed Uprising officially unveiled.

Electronic Arts has officially unveiled Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 expansion Uprising, which will be a standalone add-on exclusively available for PC gamers via digital distribution in March.

Following on from the events of Red Alert 3 (and what events they were), it offers four mini-campaigns - one for each faction and a bonus one focusing on Yuriko, the Empire of the Rising Sun's commando.

There's also a Commander's Challenge mode, where you can fight against nine commanders from different territories and difficulty levels in 50 challenges with special rules and conditions.

Senior producer Amer Ajami promises "more cut-scenes featuring top-notch Hollywood talent", in case you were wondering, with Gemma Atkinson and Ivana Milicevic confirmed and others yet to be announced.

Oh, and more of the same gameplay with new units.

You can get your first glimpse of Uprising in the lone screenshot released by EA today. Expect more very soon.
