For those who do not know, Hasbro’s Investor Day is the equivalent of Disney’s D23 (well, sort of). Every year Hasbro will showcase its entire plan for the following year. Since very recently, Hasbro has ditched its usual formal approach to Investor Day in favor of a much more entertaining one; akin to the aforementioned D23.
Hasbro will discuss and showcase future plans for almost all of its properties. This year’s event is set to go on for a whopping 3 and a half hours starting from 9 AM EDT.
We expect to see and hear about Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Transformers: Earthspark, G.I. Joe Classified Series, G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes console game, the Agreement between Hasbro and Paramount, the new Comic Book License for Transformers and G.I. Joe properties, and many more.

Following their recent interview, Atomic Arcade has posted new job openings for their upcoming console title G.I. Joe: Snake Eyes.
The company now has a logo as well as a brand new description for the game:
“Atomic Arcade is a brand-new video game development studio located in the Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina area led by industry veterans from AAA game and film studios. We are in the process of staffing up our development team with outstanding talent to build our first multi-platform, AAA game – a bold, new take on the GI JOE Universe starring the legendary character Snake Eyes! This is an excellent opportunity to not only build an outstanding AAA experience but to also help form the core foundations for the studio and team to build upon. We are proud to be part of Wizards of the Coast which is a division Hasbro.”
In addition to that, creative producer and GM Ames Kirshen sat down with GamesIndustry for an extensive interview about the game and the company.
“I always had this great desire to tackle G.I. Joe and take a crack at making an amazing game with the IP because I think there’s a lot of potential there,” Kirshen says. “So long story short, we decided to build a studio to support that franchise, to support that game.”
That studio is the Raleigh, North Carolina-based Atomic Arcade. The game is Snake Eyes, a AAA action-adventure title that Kirshen describes as “a much more edgy, contemporary, mature take on G.I. Joe to really suit what we felt we needed to have this IP and game resonate with a modern consumer.”
“It was a process of getting them comfortable with the direction we wanted to go with, that this is the type of content the market is looking for,” Kirshen says, “that people grew up with this IP and those who grew up with this IP back in the days of Real American Hero at its peak in the ’80s and ’90s are now fathers and uncles, and these are the mass consumers of these AAA consoles and PC platforms. And they want content that grows with them.”

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).
