Yep, EA have gone and made it all official… Red Alert 3 releases on the PC October 28th in North America. From the (rather bizarre) press release:

After seven years, the wait is almost over. The return to the over-the-top, time-altered universe of Red Alert – where parachuting armored bears, George Takei, war dolphins and psionic Japanese school girls can co-exist without question – is almost here! EA Los Angeles is announcing today that Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 has gone gold for the PC and will ship to retail stores on October 28th, 2008.

Psionic Japanese schoolgirls? I can’t wait.

EA are also releasing a Red Alert 3 Premier Edition on DVD, which includes

…a bonus DVD with over an hour of exclusive content, including interviews with the cast and a behind the scenes look at the shooting of the game’s cinematic sequences. The Premier Edition is also packed full of additional Red Alert 3 goodness, including exclusive multiplayer maps, strategy tips from the development team, the official soundtrack and an exclusive beta key to a future Command & Conquer game.

Customers who preorder either version will also receive the following:

• Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 – One of the most beloved RTS games of all time for FREE!
• From Fighter to Assassin – A featurette on EliteXC superstar, Gina Carano.
• Red Alert Retrospective – A look back at Command & Conquer Red Alert, Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 and Command & Conquer: Yuri’s Revenge
• Premier Edition Sneak Peek – Exclusive previews of Raising of the Iron Curtain, From Pens to Pixels, Command School, and BattleCast Primetime
• Exclusive multiplayer/skirmish map for Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 when the game ships
• Exclusive Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 desktop wallpapers

As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll also get a “Women of Red Alert 3” poster and a redemption code for the “Kossar’s Helm”, an exclusive in-game item for EA and Mythic Entertainment’s critical hit Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. It’s, er, a hat that turns your character into a bear. Yeah.

Command & Conquer Red Alert 3 is also shipping for the Xbox 360 on November 11th. Stay tuned for more details.
