Renegade Announces G.I. Joe Heroscape

At Renegade Con 2025, Renegade Game Studios officially unveiled one of the most anticipated expansions for the revived Heroscape system: a massive crossover event featuring the legendary G.I. JOE battling the forces of Cobra on the modular terrain of Valhalla.

This landmark expansion is poised to bring the “Real American Heroes” and their ruthless adversaries into conflict with the fantasy and sci-fi warriors of Heroscape, fully embracing the multi-genre, multi-dimensional mayhem the game is known for.

The full reveal for the G.I. JOE Heroscape expansion took place during Renegade Con 2025 on October 3, 2025, confirming earlier teases and leaks from events like Gen Con 2025.

Why G.I. JOE is a Perfect Fit for Heroscape
The inclusion of G.I. JOE is more than just a brand crossover; it’s a natural fit for Heroscape’s core philosophy. Heroscape is famous for its lore where heroes and villains from all of time and space are pulled into the dimensional battleground of Valhalla.

The arrival of G.I. JOE and Cobra means:

New Technologies: Laser guns, armored vehicles, and modern tactics will clash with medieval knights, alien monsters, and wizards.

Unique Mechanics: The new Zipline Glyphs suggest a focus on mobility and high-ground advantage that reflects G.I. JOE’s commando style.

Expanded Roster: Players can now mix Duke with Drake S’kar or pit Storm Shadow against a squad of Vikings, offering unprecedented army composition possibilities.

This expansion is a massive win for fans of both franchises, promising new depth and endless replayability for the beloved tabletop wargame.
