It’s been a while since we last heard from Hasbro‘s newly established video game development studio in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
It just so happens that the studio now has a name as well as additional info to share with the G.I. Joe community. Known as Atomic Arcade, executive producer and creative director Ames Kirshen has top-secret intel about their upcoming AAA title G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.
The company is working on a new G.I. Joe Snake Eyes game, to be published by Wizards. Kirshen said it’s a story he pitched up the chain that got approval last summer.
“We’re not giving away too many details,” he said, adding that there were several “layers” to the main character, and several directions the story could go. When asked what would happen after the Snake Eyes title, he said hopefully “Snake Eyes 2.”
At the moment, six developers are working on the project, and Mr. Kirshen is interested to recruit passionate employees from North Carolina’s Research Triangle area. A total of 20 staff members are required for the successful completion and delivery of the G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes console game.
We’ve highlighted only the important bits from the interview, but you can check out the full article at BizJournals (requires paywall access).

Interesting. That is a VERY small team, though. I'm curious what type of game this will be. I rather enjoyed Operation Blackout.
I think this is one of the main problems with the brand nowadays . We have such a large and diverse roster of characters and EVERYTHING is snake eyes .
That was the worst game I have seen in a long time. Even my 7 year old hated it.
A FPS (first person shooter) allowing the player to become snake eyes would be killer.
Atomic Arcade, don?t go sunbow cheese!
you know what gijoe needs? like super badly?
something else with snake eyes' stink on it.
i just preordered teenage mutant ninja turtles the cowabunga collection. it has 13 games. both arcade games. all the fighting games. the console ports of the arcade games. the first tmnt nes game. im excited about that. that's why i've been looking into building an arcade cabinet. i might still do that one day.
but another snake eyes thing? oh my god. the time for this was when that turd came out in theaters.
My ideal game would be something where you were a new recruit to the team, complete with character customization and skill trees to develop. Something pairing you up with three other Joes as you go on missions and build your talents.
I really am surprised that they?re going to limit this to just playing as Snake Eyes, and hopefully that may change as this works it?s way through development.
