The popular G.I. JOE character Snake Eyes marks an important first for the Hasbro x Epic Games collaboration, as “Fortnite” heats up its already huge roster of global partners. To celebrate the new in-game collaboration, Hasbro and Epic Games are teaming up to release a Fortnite x G.I. JOE Snake Eyes Zero Point Edition figure exclusive to Hasbro Pulse shoppers in the U.S. and Canada. 

“G.I.

JOE,” says Adam Biehl, senior vice president and general manager, action brands, Hasbro. “We’re always looking for opportunities to reach fans in new ways, and this collaboration with Epic Games to bring fans the Snake Eyes Outfit and action figure is yet another exciting evolution for the brand. Wherever there’s trouble, G.I. JOE is there – and that includes joining the amazing adventure in ‘Fortnite.’”
