G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout

About

G.I. Joe: Operation Blackout pits two iconic teams against each other in a third-person shooter with co-op and competitive modes. Take control of characters like Snake Eyes or Cobra Commander to complete 17 campaign missions or battle in 4-player PvP. The single-player story alternates between G.I. Joe’s efforts to stop Cobra and the villains’ push for dominance. Local split-screen lets you team up for missions or face off in multiplayer modes like Capture the Flag and Deathmatch. The game leans into its license with 12 playable characters, 18 weapons, and unlockable skins for both gear and models. Voice acting covers over 20 figures, adding flavor to missions set on familiar locations like the USS Flagg. While not a technical standout, the mix of co-op campaign and varied multiplayer options keeps it engaging for fans. Community feedback highlights the nostalgia factor but notes dated mechanics compared to modern shooters. Released in 2020, it runs on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Switch.
