Electronic Arts (EA) has taken a bold step by releasing the source code for four iconic titles within the Command & Conquer series. The games in question—Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Renegade, and Command & Conquer: Generals—are now freely available on GitHub under an open license. This move opens up exciting possibilities for both fans and developers, allowing them to delve into, modify, and enhance these cherished classics.
Alongside this, EA has introduced Steam Workshop support for newer Command & Conquer games that run on the SAGE engine, including titles like Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This integration facilitates the creation and sharing of custom content, fostering a dynamic and community-driven gaming experience.
While EA might not be actively developing new content for the Command & Conquer franchise at the moment, its enduring popularity among long-time fans remains undeniable. By making the source code publicly available and improving modding capabilities, EA is empowering enthusiasts to inject new vitality into the series. This initiative has the potential to draw in a new generation of players eager to explore or contribute to the storied legacy of Command & Conquer.
