I was in the closed alpha as a tester.
The new game was a free to play multiplayer focused economy based online only game. Who thought that would be a good idea I am not certain but they tied to make it work.

This is the letter posted by the community manager from Victory studios before EA dissolved the studio. Its clear they wanted to continue development of a C&C title but EA has different plans. If I had to guess I would say the people in charge no longer saw a good return on their investment and decided to relocate their resources elsewhere. After all, they don't need new revenue now that Battlefield 4 is out and Titanfall are on their way.
Whats next for C&C? No idea if EA still has an interest in the franchise but the guys at Victory did.
