Atomic Arcade, a AAA gaming studio under Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro, has released the first official look at its upcoming high-budget video game based on the legendary GI Joe character, Snake Eyes.
In-Engine Preview of Snake Eyes
The team shared early in-engine renders of Snake Eyes on social media, offering a close-up look at the character’s detailed armor, katana, and rifle. The images highlight the gritty, tactical design direction for the game, which is still deep in development. Atomic Arcade states this is the first of many teases as the project progresses.
“We are hard at work on our game centered on Snake Eyes, the legendary ninja/commando from G.I. Joe, and we wanted to share a glimpse of the awesome work our team is doing. Here is a peek at our Snake Eyes character model rendered in-engine,” tweeted the official account.
AAA Team, Big Experience
Atomic Arcade is based in North Carolina and led by developers with experience on major franchises. While the game remains untitled, the studio says it’s building a high-quality experience centered around Snake Eyes—combining ninja and commando elements for fans of the character.
“We are busy developing our first project: a high-quality video game centered around Snake Eyes, the legendary ninja/commando character from G.I. Joe. Enjoy these exclusive in-engine teaser images of our Snake Eyes character model, designed and modeled by our team. We can’t wait to reveal more about our game when the time is right,” said the company on its website.
Snake Eyes in Film and Past Video Games
Snake Eyes was last seen in the 2021 live-action film of the same name, which explored his origin and aimed to launch a rebooted G.I. Joe movie series.
While there’s no word yet on whether the new game connects to that version of the character, it marks the latest entry in a long line of G.I. Joe video games.
The franchise’s gaming history goes back to 1983’s G.I. Joe: Cobra Strike on the Atari, with the most recent being G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, a 2020 third-person shooter developed by IguanaBee.
A live-action GI Joe vs Transformers movie is also said to be in the works starring Chris Hemsworth.
