COMMAND & CONQUER RENEGADE GOES GOLD

Westwood's first 3D action game ships to stores in North America February 26

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.

"From the beginning, our goal with this game was to put the player smack in the middle of all the action he loved in the original Command & Conquer," said Dan Cermak, executive producer of Renegade. "We are so excited about the intense, visceral experience we've created by putting the player at ground level of a C&C battle and we can't wait to get it out there to the public."

Gamers can order Renegade online at www.eastore.ea.com or call toll free at 877-EA GAMES (877-324-2637). Renegade can also be ordered from Babbage's at www.gamestop.com and from Electronics Boutique at www.ebworld.com. Those who pre-order Renegade from participating retailers will receive three exclusive multiplay character skins for Havoc, the main character in the game.
