Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars is the first real-time strategy game of the series produced under the Electronic Arts brand name after a successful launch of the company's liquid capital bomb against Westwood Studios in 1998. The game succeeded the Tiberium story arc laid by the second installment of the Command & Conquer series (which Tiberium Wars refers to as the "Second Tiberium War") and continues under the premise of an outbreak of the "Third Tiberium War". It has been speculated that the fourth installment of the series will unfold the breathtaking story of the "Fourth Tiberium War", and the fifth installment, the "Fifth Tiberium War", and so on.
