If you are a fan of Marvel’s Avengers Alliance a.k.a Avengers Assemble on Facebook as I am, then you are in for a treat. USA Today is reporting that we will be getting a G. I. Joe Social Media Game along with the upcoming G. I. Joe: Retaliation.

Named G. I. Joe: Special Ops and created by Syfy, this game will feature arena-based action and strategy, plus a battalion of heroes and villains to choose from, including Joe teamers Snake Eyes, Duke and Flint, as well as Cobra baddies such as Cobra Commander, Destro, the Baroness and Firefly.

"The world will be populated by the heavy hitters from our lore," says Derryl DePriest, Hasbro's global brand vice president for G.I. Joe. The team at Hasbro that worked with Syfy "really understands the power G.I. Joe has with an audience of now-grown men who grew up with G.I. Joe, loved the characters, loved the entertainment behind it, and saw how that translated into a great game experience."

Gameplay will take place in an enclosed battlefield, with a handful of G.I. Joe or Cobra characters you control with friends or the computer. Your mission is to cross the arena and wipe out your enemies, with matches lasting from five to 15 minutes each.
