In august 2009 rumours emerged that Pyro Studios would start working on a new Commandos 2 styled game as soon as the development of their latest game, Planet 51, would complete. This rumour, which source lies at Gamer.nl, was based on a comment made by an employee at Pyro Studios. The rumour was picked up by many game news websites and many people commented positively. Pyro Studios was quick to deny the rumour though and said they did not intend to develop a new commandos game in the near future. Recent updates by two Pyro Studios employees of their LinkedIn profile now seem to prove otherwise. On the 10th of April Marcos Domenech posted on his profile that he worked as a senior-lead environment artist on "C4". Could basicly be anything of course, but two days later José Ramón Díaz Martín took away all doubts by posting that he worked as a Game Designer on Commandos 4. Now let's just hope we'll be playing with at least the original dirty half-dozen again and it comes packed with a full map editor. Ahh, the memories!
