Commandos Origins Nintendo Switch 2 release confirmed for December 15, 2026
Commandos Origins: Deluxe Edition will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 15, 2026, publisher Kalypso Media announced.
The release brings Claymore Game Studios' modern prequel entry in the long-running Commandos series to Nintendo's next-generation platform, extending the franchise that began with 1998's Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines.
Background and platform history
Originally announced in 2023, Commandos Origins debuted on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and other digital storefronts.
The title received generally positive critical reception on those platforms, and Kalypso Media is packaging the Nintendo Switch 2 edition as a Deluxe Edition that includes the full base game plus several extras targeted at collectors and multiplayer fans.
What’s included in the Deluxe Edition
Kalypso Media lists the Deluxe Edition price at $59.99 USD / €59.99 EUR / £49.99 GBP for the Nintendo Switch 2 release.
The package includes the complete base game, six iconic Commando skins adapted from Commandos 2, a 3D-printing template for the Green Beret, a digital Commandos: Origins calendar and the original soundtrack featuring 15 symphonic tracks.
The release also adds Switch-specific features: Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, GameChat functionality, and two-player cooperative multiplayer via online or split-screen.
The game's DLC expansions, Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind, will be offered separately at $14.99 USD each.
Critical reception and player response
Mainstream reviewers greeted Origins favorably.
Slack News awarded a 9/10, noting the game preserves the franchise's core strengths while smoothing some of the rougher mechanics from earlier entries.
IGN scored the title 8/10, highlighting its variety of creative problem-solving options and saying it finds a strong balance between classic stealth-tactics gameplay and modern design sensibilities.
On PC, user sentiment on Steam is listed as "mostly positive," reflecting a broadly favorable player reaction.
Developer and publisher credentials
Claymore Game Studios developed Commandos Origins, with Kalypso Media handling publishing duties.
The Commandos franchise has spanned more than two decades, with the original 1998 release establishing the series' tactical-stealth roots that Origins seeks to honor and update for contemporary platforms.
Availability and final notes
Kalypso Media's December 15, 2026 date confirms Nintendo Switch 2 owners will be able to purchase the Deluxe Edition later this year.
For players tracking the Commandos series, the Switch 2 edition consolidates the base game, cosmetic content and soundtrack into a single retail-priced package while keeping DLC available à la carte.
