Gamers all over the world have begun to utilize the robust character customization option on Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint to create in-game G.I. Joe characters. And they look spot on.

Polygon is sharing some outstanding customizations featuring G.I. Joe’s Stalker, Snake Eyes, Roadblock, Beachhead, and Tunnel Rat as well as Cobra’s Firefly and Troopers.

Other gamers are now attempting to create more characters including General Hawk, Shipwreck and Mainframe.

This does beg the question as to why we have not seen a proper G.I. Joe video game for modern consoles and PCs. Who knows… may be in the future.

Earlier today, a news surfaced regarding Hasbro‘s decision to shutdown Backflip Studios; the publisher behind Transformers: Earth Wars.

Hasbro stated the following:

“We have made the difficult business decision to close Backflip Studios. Despite working with the studio for the past few years, we’ve been unable to find a viable path forward. While we hoped for a different outcome, all employees will ultimately be departing the organization. Affected employees have been informed and will be eligible to receive severance packages. We are also exploring potential opportunities for impacted employees that may be a fit for open positions within our broader organization. Hasbro remains committed to digital gaming in other areas of our global business as well as part of our long-term strategy and we will continue to invest where we see opportunities for growth.”

However, TFW2005 reached out to Space Ape Games; the developer of Transformers: Earth Wars, for a special statement. Despite the closure of Backflip Studios, the developer assured that the game will continue on in absence of its publisher.

“The game has been operated entirely by Space Ape for many years so the changes won’t have any impact on the game or its players. The GI Joe release will go ahead as planned and players will be able to enjoy the game for years to come.”

Backflip Studios also developed and published a short-lived G.I. Joe mobile game titled G.I. Joe: Strike which featured Snake Eyes.

Hasbro acquired Backflip Studios for US$ 112 million, back in 2013.

You may remember back in June, we brought you the news of a new partnership between Hasbro and Quidd (a popular digital Trading Card collection app) to bring Hasbro characters onto the aforementioned platform. The initial wave featured Transformers, My Little Pony and Monopoly.

It was also announced that Dungeons & Dragons, Nerf and G. I. Joe will receive the Quidd treatment in the near future. It so happens (completely unannounced, mind you) that G. I. Joe franchise based Trading Cards and Digital Stickers are now available for fans to collect and trade.

At the moment, one set of Digital Stickers (to be used on chat applications) and two sets of Digital Trading Cards are available for purchase for a reasonable price; whether you use actual cash or in-game digital currency given for free.

All three sets are titled as ‘Heritage Collection‘ and features the classic Movable Fighting Men and their vehicles.

The cover photo featuring ‘A Real American Hero‘ line, hints towards the fact that ARAH collections are not too far behind.

If Transformers collections are any indication, we may even see 3D models of G. I. Joe figures in the near future.

You can download Quidd for iOS and Android. We’ve included several screenshots with this news post, for you to check out what this is all about.

A week ago, Quidd digital trading card and sticker app was suddenly updated with new and official content from Hasbro‘s Evergreen branding.

A week later, both companies announced their official partnership with new content from Hasbro’s Transformers, My Little Pony, Magic: The Gathering and Monopoly franchises. But the best part from the announcement is the fact that the companies confirmed G. I. Joe related content in near future.

“Starting today, Quidd will begin to create, distribute and sell limited-edition digital stickers, trading cards and toys from 40 of Hasbro’s brands. This expansive collaboration will transform Hasbro’s iconic intellectual properties, including DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, GI JOE, and NERF, into rare, one-of-a-kind digital stickers, GIFs, trading cards and digital toys that can be purchased, traded and displayed through Quidd’s free mobile application.”

“We’re excited to announce this innovative partnership, bringing the truly amazing Hasbro portfolio of brands to our marketplace,Our fast-growing community will get to experience the depth of Hasbro’s visionary worlds by owning and interacting with rare digital characters, many of which will only be made available as digital exclusives.”

Based on the content on the app catering to the Transformers franchise, we can expect the following for G. I. Joe:

  • ARAH or Evergreen G. I. Joe Trading Cards
  • Character face stickers
  • Trading Cards featured on G. I. Joe: Battlegrounds
  • 3D Models of the toys
  • Possible concept art and final designs for upcoming G. I. Joe related entertainment content.
