Claymore Game Studios and Kalypso Media continue to preserve the basics of real-time strategy, but this time in the form of an origin story.

Here’s an overview of the game: “You have been chosen for a mission that will determine the fate of the entire world. Witness the very beginnings of the legendary World War II elite force in Commandos: Origins. The long-awaited sequel to the Commandos series takes you back to the very beginnings of the real-time tactics genre. And to the days when Jack O’Hara, the Green Beret, and his five companions met to form the infamous unit sent to complete missions no other would dare.

In the silent shadows of history’s most pivotal moments, where heroes are born and legends are forged, a new chapter awaits. From daring raids to covert sabotage to courageous rescue missions, the Green Beret, the Sapper, the Sniper, the Driver, the Marine, and the Spy must combine their skills to accomplish the most challenging tasks. Their mission can only be accomplished through thoughtful planning and the clever combination of stealth and destruction that comes with the unique skills of this elite force. From the frozen plains of the Arctic to the vast deserts of Africa, from the western shores of Europe to the Eastern Front, it’s up to you to lead your commandos to success in high-stakes missions. Guide them in their fight against the growing Nazi occupation that threatens the free world.

Utilize the unique abilities of your Commandos to infiltrate enemy facilities and hit them where it hurts most before disappearing into the shadows in challenging real-time tactical stealth gameplay with an extraordinary team. Featuring six infamous characters, each with their own storied history, who come together to form an extraordinary fighting force – the Commandos: Take control of Jack O’Hara “the Green Beret”, Thomas “the Sapper” Hancock, Francis T. “the Sniper” Woolridge, Samuel “the Driver” Brooklyn, James “the Marine” Blackwood and Rene “the Spy” Duchamp and lead them to success.

The detailed, varied, and interactive environments offer multiple ways to reach your goal. Sneak, climb, drive various vehicles, or hide and sneak your way to mission success! The game offers a modern user experience with precise and intuitive controls that allow you to direct the commandos with expert precision. Coordinate complex simultaneous actions to take out heavily fortified targets. Play through more than 10 missions in historically authentic WWII environments ranging from the barren Arctic to the African desert, with a range of core and optional objectives that require your full tactical expertise. But there is no I in team: Take on missions with a friend in two-player co-operative multiplayer, either online or via local split-screen.

Commandos Origins will be released in 2024 for PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store). It will also be on Xbox Game Pass.
