Electronic Arts has taken a groundbreaking step by releasing the source code for four iconic titles in 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 to the public on GitHub under an open license. This move not only delights fans but also opens up vast opportunities for developers to explore, modify, and enhance these cherished classics.
In a further boost to the community, EA has also introduced Steam Workshop support for newer Command & Conquer games that run on the SAGE engine, including Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This integration simplifies the process of creating and sharing custom content, thereby fostering a more vibrant and interactive community-driven experience.
Although Electronic Arts may not be actively developing new titles within the Command & Conquer franchise at the moment, the series continues to enjoy a dedicated fan base. By making the source code accessible and enhancing modding capabilities, EA is empowering these enthusiasts to breathe new life into the series. This initiative has the potential to attract a new generation of players, eager to experience or contribute to the rich legacy of Command & Conquer.
