Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Claymore Game Studios announced the development of the first expansion for Commandos: Origins. Shadows over Crete will be available for purchase on November 18, 2025. In the new campaign, players will face the consequences of Operation 'Mercury' — the infamous German airborne operation to capture Crete during World War II.

In May 1941, German troops invaded Crete as a result of the largest airborne operation in history. After the Allies' defeat, a commando unit goes on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines. The special forces must establish communication with the Cretan resistance, led by the fearless Eleni Andris, and start a true guerrilla war against the occupying forces.

The new storyline campaign consists of four missions that tell the story of the Cretan resistance. The commando unit will have to make a difficult journey from coastal villages through ancient ruins to a port city and a fortified island, inspired by the fortress on Spinalonga. The special forces face a new challenge — German paratrooper units have appeared on the battlefield. They act as mobile rapid response teams and immediately come to the aid of their own. Only cunning and stealth will ensure the successful completion of the mission.

Commandos: Origins – Shadows over Crete will be available for purchase on November 18, 2025, on PC (Steam, Epic Games), Xbox on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PlayStation®4|5.
