A GI Joe the Snake Eyes-focused video game is being developed by the former creative head who brought us the Batman: Arkham series.
GamesIndustry.biz recently spoke with Dan Ayoub, head of digital product development at Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast. He revealed that he had invested over $1 billion in the game’s ongoing development and said that one of them was a GI Joe game.
The game was developed by North Carolina-based Atomic Arcade, led by Ames Kirshen, creative director. Previously he directed the Batman: Arkham game series from Warner Bros.
This is really really exciting! If we could get a GI Joe game just as good as the Batman: Arkham games, that would be awesome!
Ayoub teased the Snake Eyes game, saying it’s “not your dad’s GI Joe” and hopes it’s a “strength” for the franchise overall.
So it’s going to be something very different than what fans of the franchise are used to and I’m intrigued. While Paramount Pictures and Hasbro may never get the GI Joe movies right, maybe this video game will offer something that fans will enjoy.
There have only been nine GI Joe games made and none of them are truly memorable. Let’s hope this goes great! I also hope this game stays true to Snake Eyes’ origin.
