Though Electronic Arts has yet to confirm the latest instalment in its Command & Conquer series, details from CNC General's World suggests that it's in the making and that it may feature "rpg-like" progression.

The details have come from an official EA online survey, which asks a few probing questions about gamer's experience of the Command & Conquer series to date. This has led to speculation that the franchise will be taking a new direction for the next installment.

These are the rumours that have currently come to light:
