How are we possibly going to remaster these titles while maintaining the authenticity of the original experiences? Bottom line, there is no better way to achieve this than to partner with some of the talented developers who brought these original games to life. Now, in addition to the excitement and support of this remaster initiative over the past month, there has also been a healthy skepticism that we can pull this off. But what about the classic expansion packs you may ask - Covert Ops, Counterstrike, and Aftermath? Well, C&C and Red Alert wouldn’t be the same without them, so all three expansion packs will be bundled with the base games into one remastered collection - without microtransactions. So, we will also remaster the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert™. And while this is incredibly exciting on its own, we’re also aware of how passionate the community is about the Red Alert universe. We have decided to remaster Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn.
Today, I’m thrilled to tell you we are going back to the beginning.
In a post on the Command and Conquer subreddit, EA producer Jim Vessella announced that the company is working on a remastered version of the first games, suitable for modern hardware.
I did not think we would ever write this post.Ĭ&C is coming back. Our forums continue to sustain an active conversation around modding, mapping, and playing all sorts of C&C games, but it is fair to say the C&C community is much, much smaller than it used to be. We kept ours open but, by necessity, became tremendously less active. Most of the many C&C fan sites closed their doors, including long time stalwarts like CNC Den and PlanetCNC. It seemed fair to say that C&C was left for dead. Since then, EA announced and then canceled C&C Generals 2, firing a large portion of the team in the process. The previous major game before that, Red Alert 3, came out more than a decade ago, in the fall of 2008. The last Command and Conquer game, CNC 4, came out in 2010.
