Alas, no red alert 2 (the best, IMO). But still this is such great news. Huge props to EA for this.



That's the original C&C Red Alert: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert

But there was a sequel, C&C Red Alert 2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command_%26_Conquer:_Red_Alert...

Both were incredible at the time.


Ah got it.


I don't know why they're stalling, I wonder if there still any revenues from the game or if it's IP issue.



This stuff is decades old. It's completely legitimate that they may simply have lost the source code during a server migration or whatnot.


It may be common but let's not take the average companies lax attitude to source code archival and backup as "legitimate". It's a disgrace for the industry that this happens so often.


They didn’t announce it, the most likely explanation I’ve heard is that the original code is lost, along with Tiberian Sun


No, because Red Alert 2 Remaster exists...


Do you work for EA? Because they haven’t announced or released such a thing. A year ago a developer hinted there might be another remaster in the future, but it could just as easily be Generals as RA2.


No, that was gaming tabloids misunderstanding a sentence by EA a year ago. It was never announced.
