C&C News: Update for TUC, Steam release of TA, source codes and archived videos

27 February 2025 Off By Plok

Today has been quite eventful for the Command & Conquer franchise. A lengthy Reddit post (available here) was written by Jim Vessella and CCHyper, which is a recommended read, but for those in a hurry, here is the abbreviated list:

  • All games in the C&C: The Ultimate Collection package on Steam and EA App have been updated – this fixes some issues discovered since launch (e.g. broken cutscenes in Red Alert 2), adds missing PDF manual versions, adds bonus content (Tiberium Wars Kane Edition, bonus maps for Red Alert 3, etc.)
  • Source codes are now available for Tiberian Dawn, Red Alert 1, Renegade, Generals + Zero Hour, and an additional repository for all 3D titles in the franchise that will help with developing mods (modding guidelines updated accordingly)
  • Newer titles got a version bump – 1.09 for Generals, 1.05 for Zero Hour, 1.10 for Tiberium Wars, 1.03 for Kane’s Wrath, 1.13 for Red Alert 3, 1.01 for Uprising, 1.04 for Tiberian Twilight.
  • Steam Workshop support added for SAGE games
  • Archived footage from the development of Renegade and Generals has been digitized and uploaded on YouTube (see above)
  • The franchise is on sale on Steam right now!
  • oh, and Tiberium Alliances got a Steam release

Big thank you to everyone involved behind the scenes on this update, and making sure the C&C legacy is available in as accessible a package as possible.
