Hopefully, a Better Mission Than Operation Blackout
While we’re excited for the console release of G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA, we’re hoping it fares better than the previous G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout, which we found to be “perfectly serviceable but… tricky to want to get involved [with]“.
We’re eager to see if WRATH OF COBRA can deliver a more engaging and memorable experience for G.I. JOE fans.
G.I. JOE: WRATH OF COBRA is available now on PC via Steam, also launching today on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. It costs around £20.99.
Will you be looking to join the fight, and help G.I. JOE defeat Cobra?
