Beginning today, Westwood will be publishing a series of eight articles on the rich Renegade universe, detailing the history of the main characters and the two warring factions of the game: the humanistic GDI and the terrorists of the Brotherhood of Nod.

“Renegade has such a compelling story, and we haven’t had a chance to tell it yet,” said Dan Cermak, executive producer of Renegade. “We’ve really expanded on the Command & Conquer fiction, adding new characters, political intrigue, and story elements, and we’re excited that everyone will now get to see what Renegade is really about.”

Renegade is a fast-paced 3D action game set in the Command & Conquer universe. For the first time, players can experience the war between GDI and Nod up-close and personal as they fight it out on the ground, among the structures, vehicles and weapons made famous in the original C&C. Renegade offers an intense multiplayer experience with a variety of multiplay options, including “C&C Mode,” where two teams of players fight to destroy each other’s base.

Westwood will post a new article every Thursday in November and December on the official Renegade website. The first article on the history of the GDI is available now, along with two new Renegade screenshots.
