A nice surprise today from Atomic Arcade and Wizards of the Coast. That long teased Triple A (AAA) Snake Eyes video game has an official update, with a pic! And what a pic, as it features Snake Eyes from the back, rendered IN-ENGINE with stunning detail. He’s got his katana poised and ready to strike, adorned with the Arashikage logo, DRIPPING WITH BLOOD. In addition, there is also another close up with Snake Eyes rocking some artillery. Besides just giving us the game right now, this is a great pair of images to set some expectations, well done. Check the quick blurb below, and pic after the break. Discuss on the HissTank forums!
“We are hard at work on our game centered on Snake Eyes, the legendary ninja/commando from G.I. Joe, and we wanted to share a glimpse of the awesome work our team is doing. Here is a peek at our Snake Eyes character model rendered in-engine.”

News Post: More Info On G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes AAA Video Game
It's stealth mixed with sword mechanics, it could be good...if it is it might help Joe get into the mainstream
It will absolutely tank.
"the edgier and more mature take on the G.I. Joe Universe"
I cant roll my eyes back any further and Im once sentence in.
?On the video game front, the team and I look to modern military/paramilitary based game franchises that have made a lasting impression on our team as well as core and mass gamers. Such as the Metal Gear Solid franchise, The Call Of Duty Modern Warfare and Ghosts titles, and the Tom Clancy Ghost Recon and The Division games, to name just a few. Additionally, we are also inspired by recent sword focused, melee combat games such as Sekiro, Ghost Of Tsushima and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.?
So they are wanting to do a Souls-like with Snake Eyes. Thats what Im getting.
"if you strip away all of the G.I. Joe IP specific elements, at his core Snake Eyes is half deadly Ninja and half elite Spec Ops Military Commando. We believe the combination of those abilities and associated tools that Snake has in his tool chest make for a very compelling and unique video game protagonist for anyone who enjoys AAA action/adventure games.”
How does that sound unique? It sounds like if Snake and Raiden fused.
I don't see how such a game can set itself apart from every other game that is basically the same thing. Especially with Snake-Eyes as the lead.
As long as snake eyes isnt race swapped ill give the game a shot. I enjoyed operation blackout so i might like this.
I love Snake Eyes, I do. But while he has plenty of advantages from a gameplay perspective, he’s dull as fricking ditchwater as protagonists go. Never speaks, just stand there and nod, no family, less than a half dozen pals.
Hell, let’s be honest here: all the cool characters that would be fun to play are with Cobra. Storm Shadow, Firefly, Zartan, Zarana, the Dreadnoks. A host of conflicting viewpoints, abilities and motivations, and able to express them.
Operation Blackout had it right in letting you play different characters from both sides. The gameplay was just extremely dull.
