Commandos 2 remaster heading to Switch in December

3 years 6 months ago

Kalypso Media's remaster of developer Pyro Studios' much-loved WW2 real-time stealth-tactics classic Commandos 2 will be coming to Switch on 4th December.

Commandos 2 - HD Remaster, as Kalypso's spruce-up is officially known, initially released for PC in January, before making its way to Xbox One and PS4 in September. The core of the experience, as you'd hope, remains largely identical to Pyro Studios' notoriously challenging 2001 original, tasking players with leading a small team of WW2 soldiers - each with its own speciality, from sniper to demolitions expert - across a series of isometric stages in order to complete various open-ended sabotage and assassination missions.

Kalypso's remaster effort introduced the likes of graphical enhancements, reworked controls, a modernised UI, and an improved tutorial on PC, but was roundly criticised for removing key features - from multiple view panes to Commandos 2's entire multiplayer mode - while adding in an absolute mountain of bugs and performance issues at launch.
