Electronic Arts has taken a momentous step by open-sourcing the source code for four legendary Command & Conquer games. Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Renegade, and Command & Conquer: Generals are now freely available on GitHub under an open license. This generous move empowers fans and developers to delve into, modify, and improve these cherished classics.
Furthermore, EA has integrated Steam Workshop support into newer Command & Conquer titles utilizing the SAGE engine, including Kane's Wrath and Red Alert 3. This integration streamlines the creation and sharing of custom content, encouraging a thriving community-driven environment.
Although EA may not be actively developing new Command & Conquer games at this time, the franchise retains a devoted following. By releasing the source code and bolstering modding capabilities, EA is enabling passionate fans to revitalize the series. This initiative has the potential to attract a new generation of players and contributors, ensuring the enduring legacy of Command & Conquer.
