... and they're still looking for a studio to do the new game:



I wonder if Mimimi will take this or move on from Commandos-like after Desperados 3.

Kalypso will open a new studio in Germany in Q1 2020 which will develop a new game in the "Commandos" franchise ("a true successor for Commandos") for PC and "next gen consoles".

Kalypso Media Founds Third Internal Studio For Next-Generation Commandos Game


Kalypso Media Group has today announced the formation of a brand-new game development studio, explicitly tasked with the production of a next-generation entry in the Commandos strategy series. Based in the Greater Frankfurt area, the new as-yet-unnamed studio’s first appointment is industry veteran Jürgen Reußwig, former Studio manager at Sunflowers and Managing Director of Games Distillery, who takes up position as Studio Director.

Said Simon Hellwig, Managing Director and founder of Kalypso Media Group GmbH:

“The establishment of a new studio is a clear commitment to Kalypso’s growth plans for the coming years as we looked to expand our internal and external development efforts.” “Commandos is a great, globally-recognized brand and we will do our utmost to meet the expectations of the worldwide gaming community. We can’t wait to get started.”

Reußwig adds: “At the new site we’ll be looking to develop a truly worthy successor to Commandos, designed for both PC and console platforms for simultaneous worldwide release. On a personal level, I couldn’t be prouder to be working on a true icon of strategy gaming, and I’m looking forward to receiving applications from new and experienced developers alike that share our passion for the series.”

Recruitment for the new studio is already underway, with positions advertised on relevant recruitment sites as well as Kalypso’s own Jobs board. The exact location and final name of the studio is set to be revealed soon.

For Commandos fans, the PC version of the eagerly-awaited Commandos 2 – HD Remaster can be pre-ordered with exclusive beta access on the Kalypso Store starting this Friday 13th December.

OK I don't hate Kalypso anymore, they sometimes bite more than they can chew but at least they won't insert a mind controlling witch character in the next Commandos game.


...right?

Pulp Nazis use mind control too...

Looks like there are some news on the new Commandos game. It will be called Commandos: Origins and will be isometric.

Commandos: Origins - New part of Claymore Game Studios apparently has a name

Tobias Liesenhoff April 6, 2021 No comments PC / Mac , news

After the third in-house developer studio, Claymore Games Studios, was opened by Kalypso Media in April of last year, the first details of the first Commandos project from Darmstadt are now following. According to the database of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, the new Commandos with the name Commandos: Origins is being created under the direction of Jürgen Reusswig. A corresponding logo is also stored in the database.

Commandos: Origins is the name of the new Commandos part
After almost 20 years, the real-time tactics series will be continued with Commandos: Origins. With a funding amount of € 1,532,519.00, the project receives part of the games funding available annually from the federal government. As of April 6, 2021, Commandos is in third place among the highest investments by the federal government.

Initial information is also available on the content:

"Commandos: Origins" is a tactical strategy game that takes place in the first half of the Second World War and tells the story of a newly founded British commando unit that grows into a brotherhood during its operations against strategic goals of the German Wehrmacht. The player will control different characters with different abilities from an isometric perspective of the playing field and use them strategically in such a way that the given mission goal is achieved. So you will work your way through the various missions based on historical locations and missions to the respective goal.

We remain curious to see when there will be specific details, first screenshots or even gameplay material for the game.

I was about to joke about them clearly ripping from Mimimi's design based off that image is anything to go off of regarding character amount but aside from the irony of that given what Mimimi was inspired by in the first place, the original Commandos had up to six characters playable to my understanding so we'll see.

I mean honestly, the best case scenario would be if they just made it a Commandos 2 map pack while making the engine more compatible with modern systems but I doubt that'll happen.

The original Commandos team was Green Beret, Driver, Diver, Spy, Bomber and Sniper (yes, they were called by their specialisations, though they had names and backstories in some related materials) all of whom seem to be in the picture (the datadisc Beyond Call of Duty introduced Seductress, though I guess she wont be included here).

This could be somewhat interesting. Commandos series stopped being good after Men of Courage and it would be great to see a decent comeback after all those years.

Coming to Gamepass day 1 so low risk if it turns out to be a dud. Hopefully they can snag some Mimimi developers after they shut down recently.

For me to even consider purchasing this, Kalypso first has to uncensor the Commandos 2 remaster, then focus on bug fixes to get it in a state it deserves. You can't expect people to take a new entry seriously when you treat the best entry like it's some garbage.

I noticed the swastikas are there in the screen shot but a bit more transparent as if thinking, "Okay, we'll use swastikas but we're gonna be quiet about it so... shhhh". Did anyone ever come up with a mod for the C2 remastered that put nazi symbols back in?

Is the real-time tactics genre revival dead? No, there is another.



ALARM! The legendary real-time tactics franchise returns: Commandos: Origins brings you back to the very first missions of this infamous WWII special unit. Take over control of Green Beret, Sapper and Co, learn how they originally met, and take on more than 10 missions from the barren Arctic to the African desert.

The government is involved, it will be shit. Also, it's already cursed by Infinitron's Touch of Death™
