I have always been a big fan of Command & Conquer, but I recently found myself researching Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances before writing this article. So, why did I feel compelled to delve into this particular game today? The answer is actually quite simple.

EA has surprisingly created a Steam page for the game, hinting at an upcoming re-release (via PCGamesN).

Command & Conquer: Tiberium Alliances is a unique addition to the real-time strategy series. It was a browser-based, free-to-play MMO when browser-based games were popular.

Although the game launched in May 2012, over a decade ago, it’s not the first title that comes to mind when thinking about Command & Conquer.

The Steam version will remain free-to-play and will retain the strategic layer that was a core aspect of the original browser release. It will be interesting to see how EA translates the social elements of the browser game to this desktop app.

Tiberium Alliances allows players to choose between two factions, GDI or NOD, and manage their buildings, units, and defenses. Upgrades can be researched just like in classic RTS games.


The game’s meta/strategy layer involves territory control, forming alliances, and engaging in browser game actions reminiscent of the 2010s. These elements are expected to return in the Steam release. The expected release date is currently listed as ‘coming soon’ on the Steam store page.

While revisiting this relic of the past may be a fun novelty, fans of Command & Conquer are eagerly awaiting remasters of the classic games. The Command & Conquer Remastered Collection was a step in the right direction, but fans hope for more revivals of older franchises from EA.
