The team recently hinted at some kind of massive secret, and the cat appears to be out of the proverbial bag today: Red Alert 3.

Producer David Silverman is said to be unveiling the new title at the end of this month (GDC?), but we find out early thanks to marketing efforts for the next issue of Gamer magazine.

The mag's cover reveals that Red Alert 3 is in development, also titillating us with a saucy lady holding a large automatic weapon. Specifics are of course well and truly AWOL still.

Red Alert 3 should be unveiled on February 29th, with the new PC Gamer in stores on the 4th of March.

In the first Red Alert, released in 1996, Einstein succeeded in traveling back in time to kill Hitler, preventing WWII, but instead prompting Stalin's Communist Russia to invade Europe. Action-packed fun naturally ensues. Red Alert 2 was released in 2000 - making news of a number three more than a little exciting.

We'll keep you posted.
