EA Opens Up Source Code for Four Command & Conquer Titles

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 delve into, modify, and enhance these cherished classics.

This isn't just about the source code; EA has also integrated Steam Workshop support for newer Command & Conquer games utilizing the SAGE engine, including Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This allows for easier creation and sharing of custom content, fostering a thriving community-driven environment.

While EA may not be actively developing new Command & Conquer games at this time, the series retains immense popularity among its devoted fanbase. By releasing the source code and bolstering modding capabilities, EA is effectively handing the reins to the community, allowing them to revitalize these beloved games. This initiative could also spark renewed interest from a new generation of players eager to experience—and contribute to—the rich history of Command & Conquer.
