IguanaBee; the developer behind G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, sat down with the official Playstation Blog to talk about their upcoming game.
“I’m Daniel Winkler with IguanaBee and we’re the developer behind G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout. The team at IguanaBee grew up watching the animated G.I. Joe series, reading the comic books, and playing with the toys. We worked with Hasbro and Fair Play Labs to create a play experience that reimagined the third person shooter with mechanics inspired and made possible by the G.I. Joe and Cobra universe. It was an honor, and childhood dream, to work with these classic characters. We’re confident in saying G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout was made by fans for fans.”
“We always strive to define our core characters, their unique attributes/abilities and personalities through gameplay as much as possible,” says Rich Zambarano, Hasbro’s Gaming Content Manager. “Because this is a deeply story-driven gameplay experience, and I think we were able to successfully capture that depth for both the G.I. Joe and Cobra characters. I hope players and fans will greatly enjoy this aspect of the game.”
The developer also mentioned that G.I. Joe Superfans will find a special Easter-Egg on the final mission of the story mode.
Publisher Gamemill also confirmed that the game will be out tomorrow on Console (PS4, XBOX One, and Switch). No word yet regarding the PC release.

Yippee!
Wow this game sounds interesting! I can't wait for more details.
Pretty big news. The time is right for a GI JOE Fortnite/Call of Duty game. I really hope they come up with a compelling story mode.
I am VERY excited!
Hope this takes off and kids get into this. I will definitely give it a try. I'm getting a little tired of the Mobil game
It's about freaking time!!!
Just a thought: what if these classified video-game-like designs are from this upcoming game? That would explain the blue glowy things and the hasbro pulse guys always saying “video game inspired”
I definitely buy it. Not sure if I play it but I'd buy it. I've owned the Spider-Man PS4 Pro since new and I think I'm only about 15 minutes deep LOL. Not much of a gamer but I would at least give it a try. I bought that war games game a while back that had gijoeb He-Man excetera and even bought the extra dlc so I can get the GI Joe and He-Man stuff only to lose interest about 10 or 20 minutes in.
