Joe’s biggest mission yet on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG as well as Nintendo Switch in Q1 2024, as revealed today at The MIX Next.

Assemble up to four players in both online or couch co-op in either Story or Arcade Mode. Lovingly detailed hand-drawn pixel art and classic-style cartoon cutscenes combine for the ultimate G.I. Joe experience featuring an arcade-inspired soundtrack from legendary composer Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, Streets of Rage 4 - Mr. X Nightmare DLC) and from Crush 40’s lead vocalist Johnny Gioeli (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020).

“G.I. Joe is an absolute classic franchise with one of the best fanbases. Working on this game is a dream come true and it’s been a blast creating the game I’ve always wanted to see for G.I. Joe,” said Kerry Vandenberg, co-founder of Maple Powered Games. “We’re honored to give G.I. Joe fans the video game they deserve with the most authentic experience possible.”

To celebrate the growing popularity of retro-themed games we’re thrilled to partner with Maple Powered Games and Freedom Games to bring G.I. Joe fans our fifirst-everasbro Retro Arcade experience in this exciting interpretation of a classic 2D beat ‘em up” said Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Hasbro.

I'd imagine it would be available for every console currently on the market. If you can get it for a Switch, which is part of the Xbox One and PS 4 generation of consoles they'll make versions for everything. It would be stupid not to. I hope a release date for these is made available soon.

Yeah I'm hoping, But it just seems like the only info given so far is that it's on Switch and PC.

Oh and apparently it's going up for pre-order on the 26th!

also I noticed Limited Run has a page up, which means they will make this game for multiple consoles, potentially even a Cart version ported for Genesis or SNES, even though I'm not sure how well the graphics would translate to a older 16 bit gen system..I'm very curious.

Ive never wanted to punch a H.I.S.S. tank with my bare hands more than I do now!

I believe either Clutch, Zap, or Short-Fuse since they all do look alike...

Clutch has a beard and dark hair. Zap has dark hair and a mustache. And all three of the above wear helmets pretty much invariably. According to a few gamer sites, this is supposed to be Ripcord.

I know there are people who are not sold on the idea of the character designs. I think it's kind of neat. Metal Slug was a cool game I played with back in the day, but more important is the game mechanics, and to get rid of boring elements and repetitive missions. If these are not present, then this will be a solid little effort.
