The release schedule of 2025 is slowly beginning to take shape in the industry as yet another game has planted its release date flag in the sand. Kalypso Media today announced their return to the tactical Commandos series, Commandos Origins, is due out on April 9th.
The new April 9th date is a slight delay as the game had previously had a March release date attached to it. Considering it didn't have a specific day though this is a minor delay and could simply be to give space to all the other March games.
This also means we now have another April release date for Xbox Game Pass already to go alongside South Of Midnight. Commandos Origins is a day 1 release on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. The two games will come out back to back.
The Return Of A Classic Franchise
Commandos Origins marks the first new Commandos game since 2006. Kalypso purchased the IP in 2018 and released HD remasters of the second and third game in 2022. Origins is also developer Claymore Game Studios debut game. The Commandos franchise has been around nearly 30 years and has sold over 3 million copies to date across its 5 games.
Origins represents a return to form for the stealthy tactics game. You will be sent back to the very first mission of the Commandos unit in WWII. Origins will feature 10 missions within the historically accurate settings of WWII.
