Commandos: Origins, the new game in the classic Commandos series, is now available for PC and consoles. It is also included in Xbox Game Pass for console and PC. The game is playable on Windows PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5. Some physical disc versions will be available next month on May 22 in selected regions. The game will also come to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year through digital download.
Back to the beginning
Commandos: Origins tells the early story of the famous Commandos unit. This group of elite soldiers became well known in past games, and now players can find out how they first met and became a team. In the game, players lead a group of six soldiers during World War II, starting from their very first missions.
Studio Director Jürgen Reusswig from Claymore Game Studios said:
“We’re taking players back to where it all began, and letting them experience how this special team was formed.”
He also thanked the community for their feedback and support during development.
What to expect in the game
The game has 14 missions across different parts of the world, such as the Arctic and African deserts. Players need to use tactical skills and make smart choices to complete each mission. Each commando has a special skill, and you can use them in different ways—like sneaking, driving, climbing, or attacking enemies from a distance.
