While it's certainly far from earth-shattering news, I'll bet there are more than a few gamers out there who will be pleased to know that Command & Conquer 4 is apparently currently in development; shocking as that might be.
However, as Joystiq reports, a pre-press release Tweet sent out by EA seemingly confirms that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

developer EA Los Angeles is working on the new title.
You might remember that a few weeks ago a survey popped up online asking players what they would want out of a new C&C game. So again, this latest news is hardly unexpected. The bigger question here is why the info appeared via Twitter before an official press release was issued. I contacted EA to find out what might have happened, so I'll let you know when I find out more.

I wish that EA's marketing research team would have asked me what I wanted in the next Command & Conquer game. My answer, much like everyone else's should be, is more cheesy live acting by "C" list celebrities.
This groan-inducing, face-palming acting style seemed to fade out in the late 90’s, but I love C&C for remembering where (and when) they came from. We need more games to bring back these live action cut scenes.

someone say it won't be like Red Alert 3, and more like C&C3: Tiberium Wars. Gotta say, I didn't warm too much to Red Alert 3...
