As a die-hard fan of Command & Conquer, even I had to do a quick search on Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances before diving into this article. Why am I dusting off this obscure title today, you ask? Well, there’s a straightforward reason behind it.
Out of the blue, EA has set up a Steam page for the game, hinting at an imminent re-release (hat tip to PCGamesN for spotting it).
Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances occupies a rather curious space in the real-time strategy series’ lineage. It was a free-to-play, browser-based MMO from an era when browser games enjoyed a bit of a vogue.
Launching back in May 2012, Tiberium Alliances has been around for over a decade, yet it’s not exactly what leaps to mind when the Command & Conquer series comes up in conversation.
The new Steam version will remain free-to-play, maintaining the strategic depth that’s not usually C&C’s calling card but was pivotal to the original game’s design. However, the challenge lies in how EA will adapt the social features and friend-invite system from its browser roots to this fresh desktop experience.
In Tiberium Alliances, players choose between two factions: the GDI or NOD. Each offers a selection of buildings, units, and defenses, allowing players to research upgrades much like in the classic RTS titles.
The game’s strategy involves territory expansions and alliance-building—all very reminiscent of browser games from the 2010s. These elements seem destined to make a return with the new Steam version. As for its release date on Steam, it’s marked as ‘coming soon,’ which means this could quietly launch during a big event like The Game Awards.
While it’s intriguing to revisit what is essentially a time capsule from another gaming era, die-hard C&C fans are really hankering for remasters of the franchise’s more iconic games. The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection feels like it barely scratched the surface. For a moment, it seemed EA might be on the verge of reviving its classic franchises, only for nothing to materialize—unless, of course, you count the recent re-packaging of Command & Conquer titles on Steam, which, let’s be honest, doesn’t quite cut it.
