Press release:
SARNIA, CANADA – September 19, 2024.
Indie publishing platform indie.io and developer, Maple Powered Games, have announced that G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA is set to launch on PC via Steam on September 26th,

with Epic Games Store, GOG, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation releases coming soon. The title brings back the legendary G.I. JOE universe as an arcade beat ‘em up, crafted for both seasoned and new players.

G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA offers nostalgic action revamped for the modern era, with smooth gameplay and high replayability, all imbued in an easy-to-play, fun-to-master experience. Players can choose their favorite G.I. JOE heroes, including Duke, Scarlett, Snake Eyes, Gung-ho, and Roadblock. Fight Cobra’s mightiest villains such as Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, Destro, Zartan, and Baroness across land, air, sea, and space while visiting iconic locations like Cobra Island, the Pit, and Cobra’s top-secret underwater base.

Played solo, or couch co-op with up to four friends, G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA offers players an arsenal of weapons, combo options, and special abilities to choose from as they battle through Arcade or Story mode. Offering pixel-perfect hand-drawn art and classic-style cutscenes, players fight alongside an arcade-inspired soundtrack from legendary composer Tee Lopes (Sonic Mania, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge, Streets of Rage 4 – Mr. X Nightmare DLC), and from Crush 40’s lead vocalist Johnny Gioeli (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020).

“G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA is made by a team of superfans who worked tirelessly to authentically pay homage to one of the greatest series of all time.” said Kerry Vandenberg, co-founder of Maple Powered Games.

“Each element, from the art to the cutscenes, to the music, has been inspired by the classic line of action figures and the Real American Hero versions of the iconic franchise. Our team plans to keep supporting the game post-launch with a selection of free content and additions. With a franchise as massive as this the sky’s the limit.”

G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA will be available on PC via Steam on September 26th, with a release on Epic Games Store, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch later this year. Maple Powered Games is also working on post-release free content updates that will include online multiplayer, additional characters, modes, and more. Stay tuned for details. Players can wishlist the game on all platforms, find more information on the official website, and search #GIJoeWrathofCobra on social media.
