Kalypso Media have arrange an inner studio to make a brand new Commandos game with the rights they bought last year. This is nice information.
My two year-old mind hadn’t developed to the purpose the place it might get pleasure from sneaky taking pictures in Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines again in ’98, or in any of its sequels, however my mind’s extra superior type did adore Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun. Tim Stone lavished his Shadow Tactics review with Commandos 2 comparisons, so I’m hoping this might be up my road.
So far Kalypso have solely introduced new studio director Jürgen Reußwig. The studio doesn’t have a reputation but, maybe as a result of they’re too busy recruiting for it. You can apply for one in every of 5 important-sounding positions here.
Reußwig feedback:
“We’ll be looking to develop a truly worthy successor to Commandos, designed for both PC and console platforms for simultaneous worldwide release. On a personal level, I couldn’t be prouder to be working on a true icon of strategy gaming, and I’m looking forward to receiving applications from new and experienced developers alike that share our passion for the series.”
None of that confirms new Commandos will intently resemble the much-lauded Commandos 2, thoughts. For now my techniques horizon is dominated by Desperados 3, which is mainly a Shadow Tactics sequel wearing a lovely cowboy coat that lets you pause. There’s loads of room beneath the true time techniques homicide umbrella, although, and I sit up for seeing what unnamed-new-Commandos-studio will get as much as.
While the sequel sounds a good distance out, a Commandos 2 HD Remaster is coming in January. That appears like this, look.
