The Green Beret and his elite squad are ready; Commandos: Origins Deluxe Edition is all set
Bracknell, UK, November 12, 2026 – The Commandos are heading to Nintendo Switch™ 2: Publisher Kalypso Media, together with developer Engine Software, will release Commandos: Origins – Deluxe Edition on December 15, 2026.
Following its successful launch on other platforms in 2025, this legendary tactical stealth series is embarking on its next mobile journey. Two post-launch expansions—Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind—will also be available simultaneously and can be purchased separately.
Commandos: Origins – Deluxe Edition takes players back to the origins of this elite special forces unit on Nintendo Switch 2, telling the story of how the legendary Commandos assembled. Under the leadership of Green Beret Jack O'Hara, players will infiltrate enemy-occupied territories, sabotage key targets, and command this elite squad amidst the flames of World War II.
With Nintendo Switch 2's Joy-Con™ 2 mouse controls, battlefield command becomes more precise. Switch to mouse mode for higher precision in scouting the situation, locking onto targets and units, and enjoying the从容 (calm) command style classic tactical stealth deserves. The game also supports GameChat and two-player co-op mode, allowing for online multiplayer or local split-screen teamwork.
The Deluxe Edition includes the complete experience: the full base game, six iconic character skins remastered from Commandos 2 for this title, a Green Beret 3D printing template, a digital Commandos: Origins calendar, and an original soundtrack featuring 15 symphonic tracks.
In addition to the main campaign, two DLCs, Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind, will launch simultaneously on Nintendo Switch on day one, adding new missions and challenges to the Commandos' WWII journey. Each DLC is priced at $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99.
The digital version of Commandos: Origins – Deluxe Edition will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 15, 2026, priced at $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99.
