Tiberium is a new tactical first-person shooter video game title in the Command & Conquer universe, currently under development at EA Los Angeles (EALA), the studio behind the Medal of Honor series and Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.[1] The game features squad-based gameplay mechanics. It has been confirmed by a source with inside knowledge of EALA that the project is a "Renegade/Battlefield-****FPS".[2][3] Tiberium was initially revealed when shots of the January 2008 issue of Game Informer was leaked,[4] but was officially announced by EA just a day after. Prior to the announcement, the game had been in preproduction for two years.

Crytek's FPS game engine CryENGINE2 was licenced to EA Los Angeles in February 2007, and it was stated at the time that a new FPS title in the Command & Conquer universe is very likely. This suggest that Tiberium may use this engine, however, it may as well be used with any other game EALA are or are going to produce.

Plot

The game takes place 11 years after the Third Tiberium War in a wasteland that was once the Mediterranean Sea. The player takes the role of GDI Commander Ricardo Vega, who is exploring an alien tower in this area. The tower is believed to be a relic from the Third Tiberium War but turns out to be the base of a planned alien invasion.
