Electronic Arts has taken a momentous step by open-sourcing the code for four seminal Command & Conquer games. Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Renegade, and Command & Conquer: Generals are now publicly available on GitHub under an open-source license. This generous move empowers fans and developers to delve into, modify, and improve these cherished classics.
Complementing this release, 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, fostering a thriving community-driven ecosystem.
Although EA isn't currently focused on active development within the Command & Conquer franchise, its enduring popularity among dedicated fans is undeniable. By providing access to the source code and enhancing modding capabilities, EA is enabling passionate players to revitalize the series. This initiative also has the potential to attract a new generation of players, inviting them to experience and contribute to the rich history of Command & Conquer.
