Since the announcement of the Command and Conquer Remastered game, there have been very few updates released for it, but it seems all that quiet was just the developers being busy as EA has announced that the game will release on June 5.

The game is not just a new coat of paint, in fact the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection includes much more than just the original game. Comprised of Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, Command & Conquer: Red Alert and their three expansion packs - Covert Ops, Counterstrike and The Aftermath, it really is the most complete C&C experience around, of course the best news is it is not for mobile.

“Our team has been working hand-in-hand with the C&C community since day one and we hope this transparent dialogue will result in the Command & Conquer Remastered Collection being a love letter to our fans,” said Jim Vessella, Lead Producer at EA. “We’re taking the classic gameplay that ushered in a new era of the RTS genre and adding the most fan requested features like Skirmish mode for Tiberian Dawn, quality of life control improvements, and full Steam integration with UGC support. For me personally, having been a C&C fan since I was 12 years old in 1995, working with the original Westwood Studios team members at Petroglyph has been a dream come true.”

IF you want to get the game, you can go the digital route on Origin or Steam, but two collectors editions are being created, in partnership with Limited Run Games, check them out here.
