Commandos: Origins

Commandos: Origins is a 2025 real-time stealth tactics game from Claymore Game Studios, published by Kalypso Media, which owns the series. It is a prequel to Behind Enemy Lines, telling how the original specialists, the Green Beret, the Sniper, the Sapper and the others, met and became a team.

It keeps the series' formula: large isometric maps, guards with visible sight lines, and specialists with complementary skills controlled in real time. It adds co-operative play for two.

It is the first new Commandos in twenty years, and it is a faithful one, built in the classic style rather than reinvented. Players who want the original characters back will find them here.

It came after Mimimi's games had raised the standard of the genre, and it was inevitably compared to them.

Commandos: Origins is Commandos itself, made new. It is the most direct way to play the original game's ideas with a modern engine.
