Generals 2 Fact Roundup!

Now that the dust is beginning to settle over Generals 2, a few facts have emerged – although take these with a pinch of salt as the game won’t come out for at least another 14 to 24 months.

• The GLA is back.
• The European Union looks to be a faction.
• This game will feature “classic” C&C-style; action[1] (as opposed to C&C4;’s gameplay) – though whether this refers to Generals-style or the C&C; we all know and love remains to be seen).
• The game is powered by EA’s Frostbite 2 engine.
• The Frostbite engine means that the game will not run on Windows XP due to its DirectX 10 requirements[2]
• The game is being developed by BioWare – please take your complaints of heresy to the forums, thank you.
• The release date is (for now) somewhere in 2013 – going by the enormous amount of detail present in the trailer’s actual game footage the amount of manpower involved must be staggering so this is unsurprising albeit disappointing.

That’s all we know for now – stay tuned!
