The controversy with remastering
The first project developed by Kalypso Media was a revamped version of the classic Commandos 2. However, players soon discovered that there was a major change from the original version. The company that owns the rights decided to remove the political symbols, so none of the emblems of the Nazis or the Japanese Empire remained in that version.
On social networks, Kalypso assured that the decision was made out of moral responsibility. "In our view, it does not take away from the fun of the game that we use alternative symbols such as the Iron Cross." They also stressed that there will only be a single version "that will not incorporate symbols, portraits, speeches or resources that may break the law of many countries." According to the publisher, as a company they are "obliged" to adhere "to the law".
Commandos 2 HD Remaster is available on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4, and PC.
