Victory Games believes it has the tech in place to support Command & Conquer (http://www.joystiq.com/game/Command-and-Conquer-2013)for ten years, according to an interview with VideoGamer (http://www.videogamer.com/pc/command_conquer_generals_2/news/the_days_of_boxed_command_and_conquer_titles_are_o ver_victory.html). Command & Conqueris being developed as a live service (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/13/command-and-conquer-being-developed-as-a-live-service/) and will be both free-to-play and require an Internet connection.
"We built this Command & Conquer shell and frame to be the one-stop place for Command & Conquer for the next 10 years, so we want to add the other universes and maybe even a new universe that we didn't even have before, all under the same landing site, log-in [and] persona that you would keep track of," Victory Games General Manager Jon Van Caneghem said.
Canegham also noted that he believes "the days of a boxed release are probably over," making an exception for any potential collector's editions of the game. Command & Conquer will launch this year for PC through EA's Origin service.
