EA have announced plans to bring comic book hero G.I JOE to all major consoles this year to co-incide with the release of Paramaount Pictures new movie – G.I. JOE: The Rise of the Cobra.

The company plans to reveal a first look at gameplay at Toy Fair in New York City next week.

Chip Lange, General Manager and Vice President of EA Hasbro said: “G.I. JOE offers exceptionally rich storylines and a cast of characters that lends itself incredibly well to creating an over-the-top action adventure video game that will thrill gamers as well as G.I. JOE fans.”

It’s planned that the video game will feature an exclusive storyline that picks up where the live-action movie leaves off, allowing players to re-create and re-live the greatest moments from the film, cartoon series and action figure toy line.

The G.I. JOE video game is under development for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3, Wii, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo DS, and mobile devices.
