Baldur’s Gate 3was a title that set the standard for immersive RPGs for the gaming industry with its release in 2023.Baldur’s Gate 3has won numerous awards at various ceremonies, including the GotY award. It suffices to say that it did wonders for the RPG genre and its developer, Larian Studios.
Hasbro, the company known to make toys, also benefited from the game’s launch due to a deal between Larian and the former’s subsidiary, Wizards of the Coast, known for publishingDungeons and Dragons. One of the biggest names in the toy market is looking to expand its horizons and bet on the gaming industry’s bright future.
Hasbro Are Now Creating More AAA Video Games After Baldur’s Gate 3, With Four Studios Already in Place
In aninterviewwith GamesIndustry.biz, the toy company’s Head of Digital Product Development, Dan Ayoub, spoke about how the massive company already has four AAA studios. This happened after the toy company profited from the deal between its subsidiary and Larian afterBaldur’s Gate 3‘s release.

The four studios, Atomic Arcade, Invoke Studios, Skeleton Key, and Archetype, are all actively working on new video games. The most notable among all four studios is that their leadership comprises industry veterans.
Talking about Atomic Arcade, Ayoub revealed that the studio’s leadership worked onArkham Asylum, which is one of themost popular superhero video games of all time, that is still inspiring titles.
Now, the studio is working on a video game set in the world ofG.I. Joe. The game will focus on Snake Eyes, one of the most distinguished characters from the franchise, and the game is intended to do for the character what the Arkhamverse did for the Caped Crusader.
Snake Eyes Fits the Bill; Atomic Arcade Only Has to Play Its Cards Right
The poor reception ofSuicide Squad Kill the Justice League, developed by Rocksteady, left a lot of lessons in the open for the game to absorb. Combining that with the studio’s leadership might just be what the game needs to succeed.

Snake Eyes has always been the standout character for anyone familiar withG.I. Joe. Moreover, he has much in common with the Dark Knight in approaching his enemies and accomplishing his missions.
Both these characters are sharp, methodical, and analytical. Moreover, they also possess the ability to outsmart their opponents. They possess the ability to take a stealthy approach while also having the ability to take their foes head-on.
Do you think the game by Atomic Arcade has what it takes to succeed? Or will it be another mediocre AAA game? We would love to know what you think in the comments section below.
