Who wouldn’t want to see Red Alert 2 (and by extension the Yuri’s Revenge expansion) reborn on widescreen monitors and beefy computer rigs? Is it so much to ask for, to want to once again tear an alt-future Soviet army apart with flying Psychic saucers? At this point, you’d think that EA would be happy to throw a sack of cash at Petroglyph and get them to start work on that remaster, but like most things in life, it’s not that simple.

In some absolutely nice news, next month’s release of remastered editions of the original Command & Conquer and Red Alert will also see the source code for the game made available to the wider community via Electronic Arts.

In a Reddit Ask Me Anything session last night, Lead Producer Jim Vessella took to the virtual stage to chat all things Command & Conquer with fans, answering a ton of questions regarding everything from gameplay improvements, multiplayer concerns and if there’d be mission-exclusive Orca units with laser beams attached to their frikken’ heads when the game launches on June 5. Here’s the massive round-up of all the questions and the answers that came from that mammoth session!

It’s a date! The game that put modern-day real-time strategy on the map has an official date of June 5 for PC. Here’s a fresh new trailer to celebrate the upcoming release of Command & Conquer Remastered.

So how will cutscenes from a much older and 4:3ish resolution be used in Command & Conquer Remastered? According to Petroglyph Games, it wasn’t easy tracking the original footage down.

So what’s the current state of the upcoming Command & Conquer Remaster from Petroglyph Studio and how will it’s multiplayer run? The answer to the first question: Pretty good! In a new reddit post, Petroglyph revealed that the studio has “just completed our Content Alpha milestone” and that means that all assets have now passed the remaster muster. The remuster if you will.

Unable to comply, building in progress! At some point in the 90s, that was sound was the bane of my existence. It would probably be followed soon by “low power,” “silos needed” and “insufficient funds” because my god was I bad at Command & Conquer. If you recognise those phrases, you’ll know those were the words that EVA, the Electronic Video Agent that served as the UI and Battle Interface in the Command & Conquer universe.
