After being accidentally announced yesterday, EA today lifted the wraps on RTS sequel Command & Conquer 4, the final concluding chapter to the Tiberium saga.

Set in the futuristic era of 2062 on a decaying planet Earth, Command & Conquer 4 finds opposing factions Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the Brotherhood of Nod forming an unlikely alliance, banding together in an effort to stop Tiberium from dealing a grim fate to what is left of mankind. In what EA labels as an “epic conclusion” poised to bring closure to longtime fans of the franchise, players will discover Nod leader Kane’s true motivations behind his “decade-long plan.”

A wealth of all-new gameplay mechanics are being incorporated into the fourth installment, including “class-based gameplay, mobile bases and persistent player progression throughout all game modes.” In addition to plot-driven solo campaigns for both factions, C&C 4 will feature a 5v5 objective-based multiplayer mode.

Get ready to save the world next year, as Command & Conquer 4 is pegged for a 2010 release date on PC.
