Electronic Arts (EA) has taken a significant 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 available to the public on GitHub under an open license. This move opens up a world of possibilities for fans and developers, allowing them to delve into, modify, and enhance these cherished classics.
In addition to this, EA has rolled out Steam Workshop support for the newer Command & Conquer games that run on the SAGE engine, including Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This new feature makes it easier for players to create and share custom content, thereby fostering a thriving, community-driven experience.
Although EA may not be actively developing new titles within the Command & Conquer franchise at the moment, the series continues to enjoy a dedicated following among long-time fans. By making the source code accessible and improving modding capabilities, EA is empowering enthusiasts to inject new life into the series. This initiative not only keeps the legacy alive but also has the potential to draw in a new audience eager to explore or contribute to the storied history of Command & Conquer.
