Publisher Kalypso Media and Claymore Game Studios have delayed Commandos: Origins from its previously planned 2024 release window to March 2025. This extension will allow the team to refine the game and deliver a more polished experience, as well as address player feedback from the recent closed beta and public demo.
“The Commandos franchise has always been rooted in tactical precision; offering different approaches to solve versatile missions,” said Claymore Game Studios studio director Jurgen Reusswig in a press release. “The teams at Claymore Game Studios and Kalypso Media are fully committed to honoring this legacy. With the valuable feedback we have collected from our devoted community, we’re now making the final adjustments needed to deliver the best possible tactical experience for our players.”
According to the announcement, the additional development time will focus on several core areas:
- Performance optimizations will address frame rate concerns for a smoother game experience.
- Enhanced AI will improve NPC responsiveness, while updated control schemes will make gameplay more intuitive, complementing the customizable key-bindings on Windows PC introduced in the closed beta and the demo.
- Additional updates to the user interface / user experience will further enrich the player experience.
- Provisional voice-overs used in the demo and closed beta will also be replaced with professionally recorded lines in English, German, French, Spanish, and Chinese, adding greater authenticity to the World War II setting.
