Kalypso Media has announced that Commandos: Origins Deluxe Edition will launch digitally for Nintendo Switch 2 on December 15, 2026, priced at $59.99. The World War II tactical stealth game will support Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, GameChat and two-player cooperative multiplayer, alongside additional content included in the Deluxe Edition.
The announcement, made on November 12 by Kalypso Media and Engine Software, confirms the game’s arrival on Nintendo’s latest console following its original release for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in April 2025. The Switch 2 version introduces console-specific control options designed around the game’s real-time tactical gameplay.
One of the main features is support for Joy-Con 2 mouse controls, allowing players to navigate environments, select individual soldiers and targets, and issue commands using mouse-style input. This offers an alternative to traditional controller navigation when coordinating the movements and abilities of multiple Commandos.
Multiplayer support is also confirmed, with two players able to complete missions cooperatively either online or through local split-screen. Nintendo’s GameChat functionality will be supported, providing another communication option for players coordinating their operations.
The game’s arrival adds another title using the Switch 2’s mouse functionality, following the announcement of Mouse Work's December 7 release, which also features Joy-Con 2 mouse controls and cooperative gameplay.
Commandos: Origins takes place during World War II and explores the formation of the elite military unit at the center of the series. Players command six specialists, including Jack O’Hara, the Green Beret, and Thomas Hancock, the Sapper, each equipped with abilities suited to different tactical situations.
The campaign features more than 10 missions across environments ranging from the Arctic to the African desert. Players must infiltrate enemy installations, sabotage objectives and avoid detection while using coordinated actions to overcome heavily guarded areas. Missions offer multiple approaches, including stealth, environmental navigation and vehicle use.
The Switch 2 Deluxe Edition includes the complete base game alongside six character skins inspired by Commandos 2: Men of Courage. Additional bonuses include a digital calendar, a 3D-printable Green Beret model template and the original soundtrack featuring 15 symphonic tracks.
However, the Deluxe Edition does not include the game’s two post-launch expansions. Shadows over Crete and No Man Left Behind will be available separately when the Switch 2 version launches, with each DLC priced at $14.99. Both expansions add missions and challenges beyond the main campaign.
Commandos: Origins Deluxe Edition is scheduled for a digital release on Nintendo Switch 2 on December 15, 2026. Kalypso Media has not announced a physical Switch 2 edition.
