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.
