Kalypso Media and Engine Software are bringing Commandos: Origins to Nintendo Switch 2 next month, giving players another opportunity to experience the World War II tactical stealth game on Nintendo’s latest hardware. Commandos: Origins Deluxe Edition will launch digitally on December 15, 2026, for $59.99 USD.
Originally released for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in April 2025, before making its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later that September, Commandos: Origins takes players back to the formation of the legendary special forces unit. Led by Jack O’Hara, better known as the Green Beret, players must assemble their squad, infiltrate enemy territory, sabotage strategic targets, and complete dangerous missions across historically inspired World War II environments.
The Nintendo Switch 2 version will take advantage of the system’s Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, allowing players to navigate environments, select individual units, and issue commands with greater precision. This should make for an interesting fit given the series’ emphasis on carefully coordinating different commandos and their specialized abilities. The release will also support GameChat and two-player cooperative multiplayer, with the option to play together online or through local split-screen.
The Deluxe Edition includes the complete base game alongside several additional extras, including six character skins inspired by Commandos 2, a 3D printing template for the Green Beret, a digital Commandos: Origins calendar, and an original soundtrack featuring 15 symphonic tracks.
Players will also have access to both post-launch expansions, Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind, from launch day. However, these expansions are sold separately for $14.99 USD each, rather than being included in the Deluxe Edition.
With more than 10 missions, six playable commandos, and environments ranging from the Arctic to the African desert, Commandos: Origins offers a mixture of tactical planning, stealth, and coordinated squad-based gameplay. Each character brings different abilities to the battlefield, encouraging players to approach objectives in multiple ways rather than relying on direct confrontation.
