Electronic Arts has taken a bold step by releasing the source code for four iconic titles in the Command & Conquer series. The games—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 allows both fans and developers to delve into, modify, and enrich these cherished classics, fostering a new era of creativity and engagement with the series.
In addition to this, EA has also rolled out Steam Workshop support for more recent Command & Conquer games that run on the SAGE engine, such as Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This integration simplifies the process for players to craft and share custom content, thereby cultivating a lively, community-driven ecosystem around these titles.
Although Electronic Arts may not be actively developing new entries in the Command & Conquer franchise at the moment, it continues to enjoy a dedicated following among long-time fans. By making the source code accessible and boosting modding capabilities, EA is enabling enthusiasts to inject new vitality into the series. This initiative not only honors the legacy of Command & Conquer but also has the potential to draw in a new audience eager to explore or contribute to its storied history.
