Fan-made Renegade successor Renegade X exits beta with 1.0 release

A group of modders set out in 2007 to build a spiritual successor to EA's first-person shooter Command & Conquer: Renegade, turning to Unreal Engine 3 after Renegade 2 was cancelled. Nearly 20 years on, that project—Renegade X—has reached a 1.0 release. An earlier launch was a playable beta, but the game remained in beta from 2014 until now.

The full 1.0 release delivers large-scale, team-based combat across more than 30 maps, with vehicles from tanks to planes and superweapons such as orbital cannons and nuclear strikes. The update focuses largely on bug fixes and balance, and adds CnC-City, Totem Arts' long-awaited adaptation of the original Renegade map.

Multiplayer offers full online functionality and extensive bot support, and a single-player campaign called Black Dawn was released in 2012. A new trailer accompanies the release and highlights the scale and spectacle of the combat. Renegade X is available to download from Totem Arts' website.
