Electronic Arts has made a momentous decision, releasing the source code for four legendary Command & Conquer titles: Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Renegade, and Command & Conquer: Generals. Now available on GitHub under an open license, this move empowers fans and developers to explore, modify, and enhance these cherished classics.
This isn't just about the source code; EA has also added Steam Workshop support for newer Command & Conquer games using the SAGE engine, including Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This integration streamlines the creation and sharing of custom content, fostering a thriving community-driven ecosystem.
While EA may not be actively developing new Command & Conquer games at this time, the series retains a massive and devoted fanbase. By open-sourcing the code and improving modding tools, EA is effectively handing the reins to the community, allowing them to revitalize these beloved titles. This initiative could also spark renewed interest among a new generation of gamers eager to experience or contribute to the rich history of Command & Conquer.
