Last month, an EA producer took to redditto publicly statethe publisher’s intent to return to the roots ofCommand & Conquer— notthe mobile stuffthat has longtime fans disillusioned with the direction of the series. Now, EA has told us exactly what it has in store.
EA is remastering the originalCommand & Conquer(Tiberium Dawn) andRed Alertin 4K on PC. They’ll be bundled together as a single collection, along with their expansion packsCovert Ops,Counterstrike, andAftermath. No release date or price has been announced yet.
Maybe the most compelling part of this remaster is who’s making it. EA has teamed up with Petroglyph Games who will lead the charge. Petroglyph is a studio that’s known for its real-time strategy games likeGrey GooandStar Wars: Empire at War. That’s because several of its key employees helped createCommand & Conquerbefore EA shut down Westwood Studios in the early 2000s. The remaster hasCommand & Conquer‘s co-creator, lead programmer, and audio director all working on it.
As for an ETA on this project, we might have to wait a bit. EA says it hasn’t actually started development yet. That’s why it’s stressing that fan feedback is so important — because it can actually help shape how this turns out. Save the most obvious request though, because EA has already addressed it. TheCommand & Conquerremaster collection won’t have microtransactions of any kind.
