EA has also announced that they would release an additional multiplayer update for the game at launch so as to enable the multiplayer function in the game to allow players to play with each other over Wi-fi and Bluetooth. Further details were revealed in September 2009, as well as a flurry of new screenshots showcasing the game.
The game was first announced for the iPhone at the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2009 with a playable demo showcasing the game at the Electronic Arts booth. Most buildings retain their designs from Red Alert 2 with the exceptions of certain buildings such as the Allied Tech Lab which uses its Red Alert 3 design while others have completely new designs. Units in the game come from various past and present Red Alert games, such as the War bears and Apollo fighters from Red Alert 3 as well as Prism tanks and Apocalypse tanks from Red Alert 2, the game also comes with its own range of new units which were not present in other Red Alert games. Players have the choice to choose between two factions: the Soviet Union and the Allies, each faction has its own unique set of units and buildings. The camera moves around the battle field by dragging and scrolling on the touchscreen and zooms in and out by pinching the screen. Units and buildings are selected and moved by tapping on them and on various areas on the battlefield. Structures form a shallow but wide technology tree with a variety of units and buildings.
Opposing factions harvest resources from ore fields using collectors and then use those resources to construct military bases and forces on-site. Red Alert (iOS) retains the core RTS mechanics of the Command & Conquer series. The Imperial campaign added in the expansion revolves around the rise of the Empire of the Rising Sun and takes place after the activation of the Soviet time machine, but before Red Alert 3. Though many characters from Red Alert 3, such as Eva McKenna and Natasha Volkova still appear in the game.
The game is set after the events of Yuri's Revenge, and details how the Soviets managed to obtain the technology for the time machine used at the beginning of Red Alert 3.
