G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA launches on PC, reveals a free DLC plan

SARNIA, CANADA - September 26, 2024. Publisher indie.io and developer, Maple Powered Games, have announced that G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA, the arcade beat ‘em up by Maple Powered Games is now available on PC via Steam for USD $24.99 as part of the Hasbro Retro Arcade series. The studio has also detailed their post-launch free DLC plan including online multiplayer and new playable characters. A release on Epic Games Store, GOG, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and PlayStation consoles is also planned before the end of the year.


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.


This celebration of all things G.I. JOE will take players right back to days in the arcade and watching the Saturday morning cartoon and remind them of the joy of taking down Cobra,” said Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast. “It’s a game that refreshes an iconic franchise for a whole new audience, while also staying true to its roots. This continues Hasbro’s digital strategy of working with great license partners and our own internal game development.


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.  By completing levels, players can unlock new characters, and new modes including Boss Rush, 1 Hit, Double Trouble, and Item Shuffle, alongside other extras that make G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA a more challenging experience for classic beat’em up fans with endless hours of gameplay


Offering pixel-perfect hand-drawn art and classic-style cutscenes inspired by the classic TV series aired in 1983, 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).


Free Updates for all!


Maple Powered Games plans to support G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA with free content updates, with online multiplayer co-op in the near future. The developer will also introduce three new playable characters (Shipwreck, Lady Jaye, and Timber), along with new gameplay options featuring ‘mixers’—modifiers designed to spice up play sessions, including Lightning Mode (facing faster enemies), Low Gravity, and Time Attack.


G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA is now available on PC via Steam, with a release on Epic Games Store, GOG, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch later this year.  Players can find more information on the official website, and search #GIJoeWrathofCobra on social media.
