A new edition to the storied Command & Conquer franchise is on its way to mobile later this year. Command & Conquer Legions is a strategy title set in the same universe after the Third Tiberium War.
CABAL is up to his old tricks again, and the GDI and Brotherhood Of Nod are once again forced into a rather uneasy alliance to deal with that, and a looming alien threat.
Players take the role of a Commander, trying to mount a war effort. Gameplay involves managing resources, building, placing units, and fighting battles. Players can also utilize Heroes to help get the job done.

A Lot To Live Up To
The series Command & Conquer needs very little introduction. The legendary strategy game series’ first title came out back in 1995, and in the past three decades the series brought us intense warzones, hours of fun with friends, and Tim Curry doing his best Russian accent.

So, can Command & Conquer Legions succeed where Rivals failed? Well, we’re not about to pass any judgment before we’ve had a chance to take a look at it for ourselves.
