EA Releases Source Code for Four Classic Command & Conquer Games

The move under the GPL license empowers modders and preserves the legacy of the iconic real-time strategy franchise.

Electronic Arts (EA) has made the source code for four Command & Conquer games—Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert, Renegade, and Generals—available under the GPL license.
This release allows modders and developers to study, modify, and create new content for these classic games, further supporting their preservation and evolution.
The initiative builds on EA's previous efforts, such as the C&C Remastered Collection, and includes additional tools like updated mission editors and Steam Workshop support for custom maps.
Community veteran Luke 'CCHyper' Feenan played a key role in restoring the source code archives, enabling deeper patching and modding capabilities for these games.
EA's decision is being celebrated as a rare move in the gaming industry, setting an example for other publishers to support open-source access and game preservation.
