Get Ready For Classic Retro Style Beat ‘Em Up Action In ‘G.I. Joe: Wrath Of Cobra’
by Gary Catig
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge was a breakout hit combining a popular franchise with the retro-style beat ’em up. G.I. Joe is hoping to reproduce that success with a similar video game of their own. During the MIX Next Online Showcase, G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra was announced.

G.I Joe: Wrath of Cobra is from developer Maple Powered Games and publisher Freedom Games. It is set to be released on PC via Steam, Epic Game Store, GOG, and Nintendo Switch in the first quarter of 2024.
Select from Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Roadblock, and other beloved franchise favorites and take the fight to Cobra on land, air, sea, and even space. Visit familiar locales including Cobra Island, the Pit, Cobra’s top-secret underwater base, and more as you work together to prevent Cobra Commander’s latest plot to take over the world.
You have a vast arsenal of weapons and explosives to battle Cobra and their Troopers, Ninja Vipers, HISS Tanks, the deadly Crimson Guard. Each Joe character can utilize powerful combos and their own unique special ability. Sometimes a good offense is a good defense so you must master dodging and parrying as well. Go it alone or team up with up to four players either online or couch co-op. There are two modes to enjoy: Story or Arcade. The game sports detailed hand-drawn pixel art and classic style cartoon cutscenes as if you were watching it on a Saturday morning.
G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra will release in early 2024. For more details, visit the Freedom Games official website.
