EA Opens Up Source Code for Four Command & Conquer Titles

Electronic Arts has made a significant contribution to the gaming community by open-sourcing the source code for four classic Command & Conquer titles: Command & Conquer, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, Command & Conquer: Renegade, and Command & Conquer: Generals. These games are now freely available on GitHub under an open license, empowering fans and developers to explore, modify, and enhance these beloved RTS games.

This generous move extends beyond just 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 and encouraging player-created modifications.

While EA may not be actively developing new Command & Conquer games at this time, the series retains immense popularity. By releasing the source code and enhancing modding capabilities, EA is directly supporting the passionate community, breathing new life into these classics and potentially attracting a new generation of players to experience and contribute to the rich history of Command & Conquer.
