Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun

A sequel to 1995’s genre-defining Command & Conquer, Tiberian Sun is set in a bleak future where tiberium infestation has spread worldwide, making large regions uninhabitable. As the crisis grows, the long-dormant Brotherhood of NOD launches a surprise offensive against GDI forces.

Set only twenty years after its predecessor, Tiberian Sun depicts a dramatically changed world. The lethal alien substance Tiberium continues to spread at an accelerating rate, rendering much of Earth uninhabitable. In response, GDI relocates to the planet’s arctic regions, while NOD establishes itself underground. The story centers on the escalating conflict between GDI and NOD. GDI seeks to maintain world peace and uncover the root cause of Tiberium, while NOD is determined to achieve world domination. Tensions are further complicated by the apparent loss of Kane, NOD’s leader, at the end of the first Tiberian War, which leaves the Brotherhood in disarray. Even so, NOD remains a threat, fielding ultra-powerful units created through genetic mutation via Tiberium—power that helps compensate for its lack of organization.
