Another Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Hinted By EA’s Lead Producer

[John Elden Ring]

A collection of 17 titles from the storied real-time strategy game series, Command & Conquer Ultimate Edition, was recently released on Steam. The bundle includes a ton of community improvements and optimizations like level editors which have been anticipated for a long time, and is landing at a discounted price. The good news doesn’t end there, though, as a potential teaser about another Command & Conquer remastered collection was also dropped with the games that were added to Steam.

Jim Vesella, a prominent figure within the Command & Conquer community and a Lead Producer at EA, was the individual who initially unveiled the Command & Conquer Remastered collection. He recently posted a letter to the community on Steam, which, while containing generic community engagement content, slipped in an interesting line in the second paragraph: “After the launch of the first C&C Remastered Collection.”

Did you catch that hint? The use of “first C&C Remastered Collection,” not simply “C&C Remastered Collection,” raises eyebrows and fuels speculation.

Now there are a few things that add nuance to this discovery.

• If you check Vesella’s Reddit profile, his last comment before the above-mentioned one, was 4 years ago, and the fact that EA released a unique statement on this even speaks something.
• Also, the comment’s mention of “Until next time” raises questions about future plans beyond the Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection’s release.
• Then, the announcement of map editors FinalSun and FinalAlert 2 for Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2, released under the GPL version 3.0 license, prompts curiosity about why only these two games received editors.

They should really release the first volume on GoG though.

I bought the steam command and conquer ultimate collection, which cost €7, because some of the games were already purchased earlier.

Unfortunately, these releases are not adapted to modern OS, displays resolution, and Proton support has not yet been added.

However, C&C Generals can be played on SteamDeck at 1024x768 and 30fps, but it's better to wait for Proton updates and fixes to support 1200x800.

Love Tiberian Sun and Generals.

Might look into buying them....since my discs are long lost.

Please remaster RA2+Yuri's revenge but keep it playable offline.

How about just making a new C&C game instead of remastering the remaster?
