If they did liscense Joe I would actually download the game and try it. My 6 and 4 year old love the GI Joe licensed Toy Soldiers game, they play it daily.
I’d imagine that it would expose Fortnite to us in middle age market, and would be worth it to the developers to research it. Hasbro let Ubisoft use Joe for Toy Soldiers, and it is basically just shoot everything kind of game, granted they are toys that are getting mowed down. Plus the game was relatively inexpensive when I bought it, so the liscense fee couldn’t have been very outrageous as it also had He Man as well.

Is this something Hasbro is actually looking into? Or are we just pissing in the wind while daydreaming?

My Son and his friends play Fortnite. I think the game would convert into Gi Joe Vs Cobra exceptionally well. Battle Royale 50 Joes vs 50 Cobras. I personally prefer the speed, strategy, intensity, visuals and character depth of Overwatch. But Fortnite and Gi Joe would be IMO a perfect match.

On the other hand Marvel released a cross over with fortnite today and it seems to be working pretty well, but when has Hasbro ever really done anything like that?

"Fortnite" is definitely influenced by G.I. JOE. One character looks like Duke, one looks like Scarlett and one is almost an exact double of Firefly. When I watch my son play I always think, "Why can't they make this a G.I. JOE game?

How about THIS:
Release a wave of ACTION FIGURES - and with the figures, you include a download code to activate this figures Fortnite Skin. BAM - two for one deal... Hasbro sells some action figures, and kids also get to use it in the video game. Cross this over to having Hasbro selling 'Fortnite' action figures also. Just like back in the day when 'Street Fighter' or 'Mortal Kombat' were pseduo GIJoes. |

For the record - My son just turned eleven. He has been coming in and stealing my GIJoe figures off my shelves - and playing 'Fortnite' with them. Plus - he and his friends are now getting together to play 'Fortnite in Real Life' - using Nerf Guns in the back yard.
Its the closest to what WE did as kids - playing GIJoe / Action Figures / BB Gun Wars as I have ever seen. If I was an executive with Hasbro I would be all over this. I would be doing everything I can to make a deal yesterday. Times-a-wastin'! |

Hasbro, specifically, Brian Goldner stated there were no intentions of making A COD type of game in one of their investor meetings. That was a while ago before Fortnite however.
You never know what could happen. Hasbro has plans for 2020, entertainment divisions, and the flick but they are not shedding any light on them at all yet. I suppose it has something to do with what age group they plan on targeting. We will not know more until Feb of 2020 toy fair. Right now Hasbro is reeling, and most likely re-thinking market strategies and distribution channels.
