​

After being lost through several decades since their release at the hands of EA, and after a Remastered Collection with incomplete code from the final builds, today the full source codes for several Command & Conquer titles have finally been preserved by none other than Electronic Arts themselves.

Today, February 27th, 2025, Electronic Arts has uploaded and preserved the entire source code for the following titles:

• Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn
• Command & Conquer: Red Alert
• Command & Conquer: Renegade
• Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour

The full repositories can be accessed directly from EA's GitHub, under their own repositories, and all 4 repositories for these Command & Conquer titles are all licensed under the GNU Public License v3 with "some additional terms applied". Not only that, but EA has also added Steam Workshop support for more of their Command & Conquer titles, allowing for custom user maps support by the community.

Those interested in checking the recently uploaded source code, can do so by visiting Electronic Art's official GitHub account.

Ok, what's the catch? Are we talking ironic monkey paw wish or soul damned to hell type of deal?

 

[The Catboy]

Those bastards are up to something

 

[hippy dave]

That's one of the sign of the apocalyps, isn't it?

The community is already on it:


If you love CnC Zero Hour, know C++, and would love to join the bug fix + improvement effort, checkout the video.

Hopefuly, the game gets better soon.

Not in the GBATemp news:

Patch 1.05 for ZH is out on Steam (and EA app, but who use that)!

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

You know there's like probably just this one decent guy that works there and he probably been pushing hard for to make this happen. You go that one guy! Yeah!

 

[Exnor]

Nice but how about a new and good C&C ? A good old school one with 2D graphics;

 

[OilFreak]

EA, your ass is NOT Valve

 

[ComingInHotPink]

Didn't have this on my bingo card for the year

EA, your ass is NOT Valve

No, it is A valve, they can unload shit on their customers at will

 

[Scarlet]

Holyyyyy this is awesome! Generals and Renegade are some of my most nostalgic games.

 

[ertaboy356b]

I hope someone takes on C&C Generals and fix the damn issue and desync in the game.

 

[NitroRevolutionNX]

EA doing something good for once that doesn't involve microtransactions or payment? Sounds like a 1 in 100.000.000.000 moment to me.

 

[ZeroFX]

They pressed the wrong button and made public.

 

[Bladexdsl]

EA are sort of good and nintendo is bad now. it's like they have said to each other: "hey wanna swap places? you be the bad guy now"?!
