When G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout console versions came out back in late October, the game was accompanied by a Deluxe Version; featuring the Soundtrack and a digital booklet containing behind-the-scenes info.

The same Deluxe Version is now available on Steam for the PC version, but as an addon to the main version of the game. In fact, the deluxe content is split into 3 addons which the player can choose at their own preference.

Content links:

All three addons require the base game to function. However, it seems as thought the Soundtrack will work independently; without having to launch the game (as high quality audio files accumulating to 703 MBs).

All content will release on December 15th, 2020.

You can check out more info about each addon, after the jump.

Paramount Pictures hosted a panel for Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins at Tokyo Comic Con 2020.

Tokyo Comic Con supervisor Sugiyama Supitoyo conducted the event and even showcased a vintage Marvel comic book (issue 26: At Last ! The Strangest Secret of All ! Subject: Snake-Eyes), a vintage G. I. Joe VHS released in Japan, and a 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes figure.

Rest of the panel featured the same video from CCXP 2020.

“I can’t express it in words. I was incredibly happy. The script I was given was very well developed and full of possibilities.” said Henry Golding. The actor immediately contacted Ray Park as soon as he heard the word that he is selected for the role of Snake Eyes.

Speaking of which, stunt coordinator Kenji Tanigaki previously worked with Mr. Park on Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (Reptile).

Filming also took place in Japan; on locations such as as Himeji, Osaka, and Ibaraki. Eri Ishida, Takehiro Hira, and Haruka Abe are some of the Japanese talent featured in Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

Comic Con Experience Worlds (formerly known as Comic Con Experience Brazil) will host a special panel with Larry Hama and Henry Golding to showcase content from Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins.

Official Info (Press Release translated by Google Translate):

“Ready to awaken the hero within you? Paramount Brazil will bring the panel Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins for CCXP Worlds. Actor Henry Golding, Snake Eyes, and the creator of G.I. Joe comics, Larry Hama, will tell you what it was like to adapt the story for the cinema.”

“CCXP Worlds and Paramount Pictures is announcing an exclusive panel for the film G.I. Joe Origins: Snake Eyes at the Thunder Arena. The studio will promote a meeting between artist Larry Hama and actor Henry Golding, who plays Snake Eyes in the film. The two will talk about the origins of the character, the version created for the cinema and how Golding prepared for the film that is scheduled to open in October 2021.

Hama is a writer, draftsman, actor and musician, but is actually known for being the ‘father of the G.I. Joe comics’. Larry created the G.I. Joe comic books and wrote the famous file cards that came on the back of the toys. Henry Golding, on the other hand, was born in Malaysia, but moved to England at the age of 10 and, at 14, and started studying theater.

CCXP Worlds: A Journey of Hope, the first 100% digital edition of the largest pop culture event in the world, will take place between December 4th and 6th, 2020. Tickets are sold at www.ccxp.com.br.”

Based on the fact that Paramount Pictures is on a marathon of movie trailers these days, it is likely that we will receive our first glimpse at the elusive footage from the movie (if we are lucky).

The panel will take place on December 4th, 2020.

Once again thanks to Pure Costumes, we have another set of Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins role play products by Disguise Inc.; an official license-holder for the movie.

This time we have Storm Shadow’s sword and gloves. As with Snake Eyes’ sword, this too is a repaint of Storm Shadow’s sword from G.I. Joe: Retaliation and Rise Of Cobra. Instead of the mostly white colors of the originals, this repaint is mostly black.

Gloves however is a brand new design. This could very well be our first look at an actual part of Storm Shadow’s costume from the upcoming movie. Storm Shadow’s design for Rise Of Cobra and Retaliation had fingerless gloves whereas this new design is a full pair of gloves covering the fingers. Disguise has now produced non-repainted, movie identical gloves for all three movies for Storm Shadow. Interestingly, the design shares some similarities with the Classified Series look, albeit being white/grey in color instead of black as seen on Classified Series artwork.

Official product descriptions:

Sword:

“Grab a sword and transform into Storm Shadow. If you loved the prequel Snake Eyes movie, you’ll love becoming this awesome fighting character. You’ll look like a real life ninja!”

Gloves:

“Complete your Storm Shadow costume with the help of these gloves. You can make sure your costume looks great from head to toe! With a complete costume, everyone will be impressed!”
