Despite assurances earlier this month that a new Command and Conquer:
Red Alert game was still in the works at Electronic Arts' Los Angeles
studios, two more recent departures from the EALA team suggest that
the game's development may be in trouble.
Computer Games Magazine was told by an EA PR member on March 7 that
the announced C&C Red Alert game was still in the works at EALA,
despite the departure of design director Dustin Browder to Blizzard
and the leave of absence of Mark Skaggs, the vice president in charge
of EALA's RTS games. However, C&C fan site Command and Conquer Den has
revealed that two more EALA RTS team members have now also left the
studio. On March 17, the site revealed that Adam Isgreen, who was the
lead designer for the Red Alert and Tiberian Sun C&C games, had left
EALA after attempting to, in his own words, "several abortive attempts
to get a new C&C off the ground." Today, another well known C&C team
member, Chris Rubyor, left EALA as well, and actually mentioned his
title as game designer for "Red Alert 3" in his farwell message. Both
Isgreen and Rubyor will now be joining Petroglyph Studios in Las
Vegas, made up of former members of the Westwood Studios team that
first created the Command and Conquer series before it was bought (and
later closed down) by EA. Petroglyph is currently working on the
upcoming RTS game Star Wars: Empire at War for publisher LucasArts.
