Command & Conquer Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge are currently available for free on Origin as part of its On the House promotion.
The Command & Conquer series had already settled into its slow decline by the time shooter spin-off Renegade came out in 2002, but an interesting multiplayer side a bit like Battlefield with C&C bases made it more than a cash-grab. It clearly inspired deep love in some as, after eight years of development, the fans at Totem Arts have finally released their free UDK-powered "spiritual successor" Renegade X into open beta.
EA says that those who bought the C&C Ultimate Collection will still have their early beta access honored "once production of this title resumes under a new studio."
Command & Conquer director Tim Morten talks about returning factions and the new-to-old unit ratio in the upcoming F2P game.
Command & Conquer is aiming for a ten-year lifespan, and Victory's Jon Van Caneghem acknowledges that may mean the series is done with boxed releases.
Electronic Arts announced today that Command & Conquer will get episodic story missions starting in early 2014.
While I wasn't outright awed by Command & Conquer, it is clear that the franchise is heading back in the direction of its classic days.
Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight was not well received by critics and fans, something that new developer Victory Games is well aware of as it creates a new Command & Conquer.
The upcoming free-to-play Command & Conquer will be set the Generals universe, with the GLA, China and the United States as adversaries. But developer Victory Games envisions including other universes from the franchise sometime down the road.
The free-to-play Command & Conquer title will get an extended beta test in 2013, Victory has announced.
