HISSTANK attended the Licensing Con Brazil event and Marcelo Masotti – Head of Licensing, Hasbro Brazil announced that the toy company will debut a brand new animated series based on G.I. Joe.
The series is set to release in 2022 with season 2 in 2023.
But wait, there’s moe!
During a sizzle reel, a brief clip from the show was shown to the audience. You can check out our description of the clip, after the jump.
Clip description (Spoilers!)
The clip was animated like what we usually see on a typical flashback scene. Moving characters to a static background akin to Mortal Kombat X Endings. Could just be placeholder concept art. Barely 2 seconds.
Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are fighting a couple of enemies. Both their designs are brand new and futuristic.
Snake Eyes:
- Snake Eyes looks a lot like a black Power Ranger.
- Wears bladed gauntlets like Classified Series Storm Shadow art (most popularly known as Batman Gauntlets).
- Silver visor.
- No weapon. Just a bad@$$ kick.
Storm Shadow:
- Looks a lot like Marvel character Crossbones.
- White high-collar jacket, no sleeves.
- Like Snake Eyes, wears the same gauntlets.
- Dual-wielding two Tang-hooked Katanas.
Enemies:
- Two males. One bare-chested (tattooed?)
- Wearing Japanese demon masks.
- Bare-chested enemy wields double-ended Japanese Shoge Hook.
- The other wields a straight sword while receiving a knee kick to the chest from Snake Eyes.
Location:
- Top of a building. Helipad?
- Neon signboards can be seen in the city.
- 4th of July like fireworks; reminiscent of the intro of G.I. Joe: The Movie.

Been a while since G.I. Joe has had a series. I'll definitely check it out.

I don't know why I always struggle with this but where do I click in or around the article to jump to the referenced clip?
EDIT: Never mind. I think I read that wrong.
TheOverlordCorp says
Sounds a bit like a Snake-Eyes cartoon based on the movie if they aren't fighting COBRA.
Stormtrooper12 says
It's too early to jump to any conclusions, but I hope this isn't solely about more Fing ninjas. Also I don't like what these character descriptions are saying.
ActionMan97 says
Either this might be a continuation of the Snake Eyes film, or it's its own continuity.
Either way, I imagine they might take some influence from Netflix WFC's art style and storytelling. Whatever animation studio they might hire for the job.
Jinx723 says
Storm Shadow looks like Crossbone?!?
Snake Eyes looks like a power ranger?!?
And they both raided Batman’s arsenal of armored gauntlets?
Yep, sounds like a Snake Eyes:Ninja Force cartoon.
DESTRO says
Awesome news! G.I. Joe is back lets take on Transformers!
PanzerKrake says
These licensing conferences are meant to be kept secret so we likely wont see any leaks
NaytNavare says
I'll wait to learn more before I get excited. I loved Renegades, at least.
