A new GI Joe AAA game has been revealed thanks to a number of job listings over at Dungeons & Dragons owners Wizards of the Coast, who most recently released Dungeons and Dragons: Dark Alliance. The job listings went into a surprising amount of detail about this new GI Joe game, so below fans can find gameplay details, platforms, and when its potential release date may be.
What is the new GI Joe AAA game?
The new GI Joe game will apparently be a full “AAA” (i.e. big budget) third-person action-adventure, being made by a new Raleigh-Durham studio set up by Wizards of the Coast. Various job listings give details about the title and the studio, with applications for lead level designer confirming that the team includes veterans from WB Games. The game will have third-person melee combat, and while open-world is not mentioned, “traversal systems” and “exploration mechanics” suggest that it might be just that. The listing also mentions the Unreal engine, so expect it to be built on that.
There have been many GI Joe games over the years but few of them have been any good, so hopefully, this new title will be the one to change that.
What is the GI Joe AAA game release date?
GI Joe fans should not expect to see the new action-adventure until at least 2023/2024. While it is unknown how long the new game has been in development already, it cannot possibly be too long as the new studio hasn’t even been named yet. Modern AAA games take a long time to develop, so it will likely still be a good few years before it’s finally launched.
Will the new GI Joe game release on PS5, Xbox Series X, or PC?
GI Joe will be a “multi-platform” game so that suggests a release on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC. Given that it is several years away it is very unlikely that it will release on PS4, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch.
