14 DAY TRIAL // Commandos 2 and Praetorians HD Remasters are coming to PC in about two months from now, publisher Kalypso Media and developers Yippee! Entertainment and Torus Games announced earlier this week. If you're in for a dose of nostalgia, both games will be released on PC on January 24, 2020.
The console versions (PlayStation 4, Xbox One) of both classics and the Nintendo Switch, Mac and Linux version of Commandos 2 - HD Remaster will follow in Spring 2020. Kalypso Media also announced that the game can be purchased either individually or as a special discounted double pack.
More importantly, players who pre-order the games from the Kalypso Store will have access to each game's closed beta for Windows PC starting December 13. Both betas will feature revamped tutorials, high definition sheen, and access to each game's campaign missions and skirmish maps.
In Commandos 2 - HD Remaster, players take control of an elite group of Allied commandos who must venture deep into enemy territory and utilize their combined expertise to complete a series of dangerous missions. You'll be able to explore interactive environments and use the commandos’ unique skill sets to complete the missions against impossible odds.
In the beta for Commandos 2 HD Remaster, players will experience every tutorial and campaign mission from the original game revamped in high definition with new controls. All the cast from the original game will be available to play with, including Jack 'Tiny' O'Hara and Whiskey the dog.
Praetorians HD Remaster lets players lead the emerging Roman Empire by proving a legionnaire's worth on the battlefields of Egypt, the combat theaters of Gaul and the heart of the Roman Empire in Italy, in a crusade to become Emperor.
In the beta for Praetorians HD Remaster, players must learn the ropes or show militant might with access to every tutorial, campaign and skirmish mission from the original game. Also, both solo and a fully remastered multiplayer mode will be available.
