It's been a while since we last heard from Commandos: Origins, developer Claymore Game Studios' revival of the classic WW2 real-time stealth-tactics series, but it's back to show off some of the locations players will be tensely sneaking around in a new trailer. Until, that is, last year's announcement of Commandos: Origins, which sees players experiencing the events that led to the formation of the titular squad as they travel from European coastlines to icy Arctic plains and African deserts - all presented using the series' classic isometric perspective. Which is where today's trailer comes in, offering a brisk look at some of those locations - which, to my eyes at least, do a good job of capturing the bleak, but ever-so-slightly stylised aesthetic of the original Commandos' pre-rendered maps, albeit now in full 3D.
