Command & Conquer is a legendary real-time strategy franchise which first came out in 1995. Since then, it has received a number of installments. While the quality of the games has decreased in recent years, gamers still have fond memories of certain experiences like Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. For years now, many have been asking EA to remaster these experiences for modern devices.
Luckily, it seems like EA listened to these pleas and just announced remasters of Command & Conquer: Red Alert and Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. The post even acknowledged that the games "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."
A month ago, we let the Command & Conquer community know we were bringing the franchise back to the PC, starting with a remaster initiative. The reaction from fans has been amazing, with many of you sharing your favorite moments from the past 23 years. We have been reading these comments and listening intently. And now, we are ready to reveal our first PC offering and how your suggestions are already influencing our approach. Today, I'm thrilled to tell you we are going back to the beginning. We have decided to remaster Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. And while this is incredibly exciting on its own, we're also aware of how passionate the community is about the Red Alert universe. So, we will also remaster the original Command & Conquer: Red Alert. But what about the classic expansion packs you may ask — Covert Ops, Counterstrike, and Aftermath? Well, Command & Conquer 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. 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. 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. So, after years of the fans asking for their involvement, I am humbled to announce that EA is going to partner with Petroglyph Games to develop the Command & Conquer remastered collection.
It's great to see that the original developers from Westwood Studios will be working on the games. Hopefully they'll be able to capture of essence of what made the titles so great. They're coming on June 5 to Steam and Origin on PC.
