Yuri’s Revenge is the largest expansion in Westwood’s history, adding to the real-time strategy game new Allied and Soviet units, two single-player campaigns, multiplayer features, co-operative campaigns, an hour of filmed story sequences, and an entirely new side: an army lead by the mysterious psychic warrior, Yuri.
In the original Red Alert 2, Yuri was a controllable unit on the Soviet side. For the expansion, Yuri breaks from the Soviets and launches his own bid for world domination through psychic technology. Players will take command of a time-traveling task force and go back in time to unravel Yuri’s evil plot.
“With Yuri’s Revenge, we wanted to give the fans more of the addictive and fast-paced gameplay they loved in Red Alert 2,” said Mark Skaggs, executive producer of Yuri’s Revenge. “Yuri’s Revenge is a hugely ambitious expansion to an wildly successful product and we are excited about getting it out to the public.”
Yuri’s Revenge will feature multiplay over a Local Area Network and over the Internet through Westwood OnlineSM. Players can engage in fierce combat with each other or team up to play through the 10 co-op missions. Yuri’s Revenge will also have it’s own dedicated tournament and ladder system that will rank players worldwide and allow them to keep track of their victories and defeats against other Internet gamers.
