Electronic Arts’ classic real-time strategy game series, Command & Conquer, is being remastered for modern platforms. EA confirmed Wednesday that it plans to remaster the original Command & Conquer and its prequel/sequel, Command & Conquer: Red Alert, to “4K glory” with the help of Petroglyph Games.
Petroglyph is the developer behind strategy games like Grey Goo, Star Wars: Empire at War and Guardians of Graxia. The studio is also home to “many of the original developers from Westwood Studios, and some of the most influential members of the original Command & Conquer development team from 1995,” EA said.
“Joe Bostic is known as the co-creator of C&C, having also served as the Lead Programmer on Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert,” EA creative director Jim Vessella wrote in a news post on EA.com. “Steve Tall joined Joe as a Lead Programmer on Red Alert, and Mike Legg contributed to all forms of audio systems at Westwood, having been an employee since 1986! All three members helped start Petroglyph Games in 2003 after the closure of Westwood and are joined by a veteran group of RTS developers from the past 15+ years.”
Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn and Command & Conquer: Red Alert will be released as a single remastered collection (“without microtransactions”) that will also include the expansions Covert Ops, Counterstrike and Aftermath.
Series composer Frank Klepacki will also work on the project, serving as composer and audio director.
I am so ready. This is amazing news. I think I played these games more than any other growing up.
