Here is the reveal trailer for an upcoming GI Joe titled video game GI Joe: Wrath of Cobra. This game looks like it was made for fun, but it’s a bit ridiculous that we’ve seen a modern, badass video game being made with GI Joe.
In the game, “Join franchise favorites like Duke, Scarlett and Snake Eyes on a journey through the GI Joe franchise where the stakes are higher and the guns are bigger. Counter the conniving Cobra Commander in battles set in iconic locations such as Cobra Island and The Pit. Explore Story or Arcade mode alone or with a team via couch co-op.
The game was developed by Maple Powered Games and published by Freedom Games, and it is a beat ’em up style game that lets you play as different iconic G.I. Joe characters in up to four players online or co-op mode. The game also includes an arcade mode and story mode, and features pixel art, cartoon cutscenes, and music by Tee Lopes and the Crush 40’s lead singer. Johnny Gioeli.
Kerry Vandenberg, co-founder of Maple Powered Games, said in a statement: “GI Joe is an absolutely classic franchise with one of the best fanbases. Working on this game is a dream come true and it was amazing to create the game I’ve always wanted to see for GI Joe. We are honored to offer GI Joe fans the video game they deserve with the most authentic experience possible.”
Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Hasbro added: “GI Joe is one of the most iconic brands of the 80s and it was the golden era of arcade games. In celebration of the growing popularity of retro-themed games, we’re thrilled to partner with Maple Powered Games and Freedom Games to bring GI Joe fans our first Hasbro Retro Arcade experience in this exciting take on a classic 2D beat ’em up.
The game will be released in the first quarter of 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PC, Mac and Linux.
