Electronic Arts announces they will release a playable demo for Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 on Monday, offering the chance to sample the recently released new installment in this alternate-reality real-time strategy series. The single-player demo will debut GameSpot, where there's a countdown time indicating 3:00 pm EST is specifically when to expect the release, and word on content is it includes the game's entire seven minute opening cinematic, three interactive tutorials and one campaign mission from each of the Soviet and the Allied campaigns. The announcement also says the game's first major patch is to be released "later this year," and will include WorldBuilder for map-making and game modification, enhancements to AutoMatch, balance fixes and a de-authorization tool to manage the game's DRM authentications. They conclude promising: "More details on the patch will be made available soon."
