Introduction

If you've been eagerly anticipating the release of Commandos: Origins, the revived gem of the classic WW2 real-time stealth-tactics series, you’re in luck! Claymore Game Studios has recently launched a demo, allowing fans to sneak their way through intense missions on PC and Xbox ahead of the full release later this year.

A Brief History of Commandos

For those who might not remember, the Commandos franchise debuted in 1998 with the challenging Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, developed by Pyro Studios. Over the years, the series has seen five sequels, but it lost its way with the 2006 title Commandos: Strike Force, a shift to the first-person shooter format that left many fans longing for the tactical gameplay they loved.

What to Expect in Commandos: Origins

Commandos: Origins is set to bring the series back to its roots as a prequel that dives deep into the stealthy operations of the original team of commandos. Players will engage in sabotage and assassination missions across historically rich environments, from the treacherous coastlines of Europe to the unforgiving Arctic tundra and the sun-baked deserts of Africa. The game promises to deliver this nostalgic experience with a modern touch, rendered in a stunning full 3D isometric perspective.

Demo Details

The newly available demo is labeled as a 'demo-exclusive test mission,' featuring a gripping scenario where players take charge of Jack O'Hara, the Green Beret, and James Blackwood, The Marine. Their objective? Sabotage a German radar system amidst the tense backdrop of the Channel Islands during World War II.

Full Game Features

But that's not all – the full game will boast over 10 missions, packed with both essential and optional objectives, offering flexibility in gameplay. Players can tackle challenges in diverse ways, ensuring each playthrough feels unique. Plus, Commandos: Origins will support two-player local and online co-op, making it easier for friends to unite in tactical combat.

Conclusion

As the gaming community buzzes with excitement, the revival of this beloved series is sure to attract both long-time fans and newcomers alike. Will Commandos: Origins recapture the magic of its predecessors? Only time will tell, but with this demo, players can get a taste of the strategic theft and warfare awaiting them!
