G.I. JOE is Getting an AXIS & ALLIES Game G.I. JOE: BATTLE FOR THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

Renegade Game Studios has revealed that they are developing a new G.I. Joe game that will be powered by the Axis & Allies game engine! It’s called G.I. Joe: Battle for the Arctic Circle, and it will allow fans to play as the G.I. Joe team or Cobra in a fight for control of the Arctic Circle because taking control of the Arctic Circle is apparently crucial!

The game will feature over 110 figures, including: the Snow Cat, W.O.L.F., Skystriker, and Rattler. The game will also introduce new strategic options that commanders may employ, such as using the Weather Dominator to freeze the sea to block pathways or create strategic land bridges. Players can expect to deploy troops in 2024.

Scott Gaeta, president and publisher at Renegade Game Studios, said in a statement: “G.I. Joe was the perfect fit for our new line of games powered by Axis & Allies. Now fans of wargames and the world’s ultimate fighting force can come together for an epic experience.”

Renegade Game Studios has also announced a new addition to their Robo Rally line-up with Transformers Robo Rally, featuring classic Robo Rally gameplay mixed with iconic Transformers characters like Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Players will be able to choose between six different Transformers robots, each with their own personal upgrades that give them unique advantages and identities. Players will convert between bot and alt (or vehicle) modes, to better navigate the many roads, buildings and obstacles that make up each race. The game will also feature four completely new double-sided game boards, representing the city and desert landscapes of Velocitron.

In regard to that, Gaeta said: “What a perfect fit! We knew we wanted to do a Transformers racing game and the stars aligned with Robo Rally! Now Transformers fans can compete on Velocitron in a game fueled by Richard Garfield’s original Robo Rally design with additional design by the Renegade R&D team.”

Bradley Bowman, Senior Licensing Director of Global Toy and Game at Hasbro added: “We are eager to bring fans new expressions of Axis & Allies and Robo Rally through the storytelling lens of two of our iconic brands – G.I.Joe and Transformers. Through Renegade’s imaginative mashups with our classic tabletop strategy games, we are truly celebrating the spirit of action and adventure that our brands represent.”
