A GI Joe game focusing on Snake Eyes is in development from former Batman: Arkham series leadership.
GamesIndustry.bizrecently spoke to Dan Ayoub, head of digital product development at Hasbro’s Wizards of the Coast. The head revealed that the companyhas over $1 billion invested in ongoing game development, and also revealed what a few of these upcoming projects are.
The studio is headed up by Ames Kirshen, acting as creative director on the Snake Eyes game, who previously headed up the Batman: Arkham series of games at Warner Bros. Considering the Arkham trilogy is widely regarded as some of the best comic book games ever made, that’s some pedigree.
As for the Snake Eyes game, Ayoub says it’s “not your daddy’s GI Joe” in the interview with GamesIndustry.biz, and hopes that it’s a “shot in the arm” for the franchise at large. It sounds like it’ll be a far cry from stuff like the GI Joe comic series, which first debuted in print all the way back in 1967, or the GI Joe animated series, which ran between 1985 and 1986.
