The studio best known for making Dead Space and Dante's Inferno  is expanding, welcoming more developers—and more than just action adventure games—into its fold, including EA's venerable Command & Conquer strategy game series.

Electronic Arts senior VP and group general manager Nick Earl tells Gamasutra that more games, including the Command & Conquer title that's "pretty far off," will exist as Visceral Games label projects. Whatever that new C&C project is, you can count on "fundamental innovation" coming to the real-time strategy series.

The growing Visceral Games brand, which will tap the talents of EA development studios in Los Angeles, Shanghai, Montreal and Melbourne, Australia, will bring you more than just Dead Space, more than just third-person action. Earl calls the Dead Space series "really emblematic of the kind of games we're building," even if that doesn't necessarily mean Command & Conquer is due for a graphically violent makeover.

Hey, it sounds better than Command & Conquer for Facebook, right?

Visceral Games is currently hard at work on Dead Space 2 and is rumored to be working on a title based on Jack the Ripper.

I agree with one of the comments below and they really should make a second Generals game. Not only was the first one awesome ("We build for China!") but from a financial point of view it makes sense due to the Modern Warfare craze.

More C&C? Definitely win!

This makes no sense. Red Alert 3 was kinda a flop but SC2 is a mega-hit. Yet they have a very similar gaming model.

Anyway, I think the best thing for C&C to do is not mae another RTS.

^ For me it's the universe the game is set in that makes all the difference - even though both games are RTS', SC2 is just mind-blowing more awesome then say RA3 or any other RTS.

I've yet to pay C&C4, totally loved C&C3, hence my prev comment (still feeling the high of C&C3).
