Spoiler Warning! Please note that this news post contains spoilers from the story mode of G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout video game. Proceed with caution.
We have with us some extensive details from the upcoming video game G.I. Joe: Operations Blackout. This is not a review per se, but we’ll get to that, once we hit the official release date. Now, on to the main event.
The game consists of a story mode and several multiplayer features typical to most video games of this genre. But, this video game is not just another Third Person Shooter with a G.I. Joe coating. The game is in fact a love-letter to the fans of the franchise. Clearly, the developers are G.I. Joe fans. This is a game from fans to fans.
The story mode is NOT in two parts as earlier reported by gaming websites. It’s a mix. On one mission we play as Cobra and the another as G.I. Joe. But the story progression is linear. There are 4 difficulty settings, namely: Action Figure, Government Issue, Man Of Action, and Real American Hero.
There are total of 12 playable characters:
NPCs include B.A.T.s, Red Ninjas, and unnamed Joe soldiers. We also have vehicle based missions.
There are 17 missions in total. We’ll keep the story details after the jump, so that we won’t accidentally spoil those who are treading the front page.
Any spoilers after this, is at reader’s fault. Don’t say that we didn’t warn you. *wink

Hasbro has applied for a new G.I. Joe digital entertainment trademark at the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
This is the first G.I. Joe Trademark to be registered after more than three years from the last one.
Back in 2017, Hasbro applied for the G.I. Joe toyline trademark (likely due to the start of the development work for the Classified Series) as well as the trademark for ‘Knowing Is Half The Battle’ tag line.
Motivation behind this trademark is easy to decipher, as we are just a week away from the release of the G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout video game.

Ever since the news of G.I. Joe Classified Series Cobra Island Special Mission Set emerged, many speculated the possible longevity of the sub-line.
Now, fans have discovered several images (which seems to be originating from ACTOYS site), titled as ‘Return To Cobra Island‘ which features some sort of a web interactive feature.
While details aren’t all that clear, one image indicates a time frame between October 1st and November 30th for this possible venture.
The artwork also features Crimson Guard, Low-Light, and Dr. Mindbender. The images are placeholder images from various sources. With Funko toys getting Beachhead and Dr. Mindbender figures, it isn’t farfetched to speculate that there might be a connection.
Since we don’t have any evidence, take this info with a grain of salt.
You can checkout all the images, after the jump.
