Commandos: Origins is a tactical strategy game that takes place in the first half of World War II.

Commandos: Origins transports players back to World War II, where the original characters unite to form the legendary Commandos squad. Engage in close-quarters-combat with The Green Beret, Jack O’Hara, and as the Commandos join forces to take down enemy soldiers with brute strength and calculated efficiency.

A gripping storyline sets the stage for a thrilling adventure, filled with challenging missions and tactical stealth gameplay. With over 10 missions across authentic historical locations, spanning the icy landscapes of the Arctic to the scorching sands of the African desert, you'll find yourself facing varied scenarios and diverse objectives. Each mission offers a fresh and engaging experience that keeps players eagerly anticipating each new challenge.

The game offers an exhilarating real-time strategy gameplay experience allowing players to harness the unique abilities of the Commandos, master the art of stealth, strike from the shadows, and vanish into the night before the enemy can react.

The Commandos are preparing to deploy on Nintendo Switch 2!

Publisher Kalypso Media, in cooperation with developer Engine Software, will bring the Commandos: Origins – Deluxe Edition to Nintendo Switch 2 on December 15th, 2026.

Following its successful launch on other platforms in 2025, the legendary tactical stealth series is ready to take its next mission on the move – with both post-launch expansions, Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind, available to be purchased separately.

The Commandos: Origins – Deluxe Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 takes players back to the very beginning of the elite special forces unit, telling the story of how the legendary Commandos came together. Led by Jack O’Hara, the Green Beret, players will infiltrate enemy territory, sabotage key targets and lead their elite squad in World War II.

On Nintendo Switch 2, players can put the Joy-Con™ 2 mouse controls to work for a more precise approach to battlefield command. Switch to mouse control to navigate the battlefield with greater accuracy, select targets and units with precision, and issue commands with the control expected from a tactical stealth classic. Furthermore GameChat and 2-player cooperative multiplayer mode are supported, either online or via local split-screen.

The Commandos: Origins – Deluxe Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 delivers the full experience by including the complete base game, six iconic Commando skins from Commandos 2 adapted for Commandos: Origins, a 3D printing template for the Green Beret, a digital Commandos: Origins calendar and the Original Soundtrack with 15 symphonic tracks.

Alongside the main campaign, both post-launch DLCs Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind on Nintendo Switch are available from day one, adding further missions and challenges to the Commandos’ WWII campaign. Each DLC is available for $14.99 USD / €14.99 EUR / £12.99 GBP.
