Commander Keen will return as a free-to-play mobile game

Boy genius Billy Blaze and his alter ego, Commander Keen, will return to mobile devices in the near future. Yes, Commander Keen — the star of the early 90s PC games that many of us grew up with and remember fondly.

A free-to-play mobile game, this new Commander Keen will star twin siblings (Billy and Billie) who can build wacky gadgets from everyday items in order to conquer challenges and battle enemies. They’ll go on adventures in story mode, where they’ll overcome aliens and explore Mars. That won’t be the only available mode, though, because Battle Mode will allow players to play against one another in a race to control points.

Commander Keen is in development at ZeniMax Online Studios, and will soft launch this summer, for iOS and Android devices.
