Red Alert 3 expands with Uprising

EA have chosen to go exclusively PC with the upcoming stand alone expansion for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, and further more it will only be available as a digital download.

"Uprising is a game that in many ways reflects the feedback we have gotten from the Command & Conquer community," said Amer Ajami, Senior Producer at EA Los Angeles. "We're giving gamers more of what they want - more of the fast, fluid and fun gameplay, more of the story we began to tell in Red Alert 3 and more cutscenes featuring top-notch Hollywood talent. At the same time, we're excited we're going to be able to bring new things to the mix, including new units and the Commander's Challenge, which is a great way for players to hone their skills and get deeper into the combat."

Is it a sign of the Command & Conquer series declining popularity that this will only be available as a digital download. Or is it perhaps the shape of things to come?
