We already knew this was coming but today Eidos Interactive announces the latest instalment in the multi-million selling Commandos franchise, "Commandos 3". Currently being developed by Pyro Studios, the game will be released in Summer 2003 on PC.

Commandos 3 is a tactical action strategy game set against the backdrop of World War II where you must take control of an elite group of Commandos as they venture deep into enemy territory. Commandos 3 aims to take the stunningly detailed graphics and absorbing gameplay of the series to a whole new level. The game features an improved graphics engine, more realistic AI (artificial intelligence), and a greater variety of enemies and equipment. The structure of the game has been completely revamped; it is no longer mission based and instead features a strong narrative that drives the player through the game. Commandos 3 also promises to be more accessible and easier to play than previous games in the series.

Mike McGarvey, ceo of Eidos Interactive says: “We firmly believe in developing key franchises and Commandos is one of our most successful and popular. Pyro Studios have a great track record for producing quality games, we are therefore expecting great things from Commandos 3.”

Ignacio Perez, ceo of Pyro Studios says: “We want Commandos 3 to be the definitive game in the Commandos series. Our intention is to take the best of the previous games and introduce several new improvements. We are confident that the millions of Commandos fans will be very impressed.”
