Experience the legendary battle between the
AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS as Activision
Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) announced today
that Transformers™: War for Cybertron is in
development by award-winning High Moon Studios.
Based on Hasbro’s legendary TRANSFORMERS
property, the game takes players to the
TRANSFORMERS characters’ home planet of
CYBERTRON for a new look into the epic story of
the grand civil war that spawned one of the most
brutal rivalries of all time.
“Transformers: War for Cybertron is an origins
story, taking players on a gripping,
adrenaline-fueled journey that precedes the
TRANSFORMERS characters’ arrival on Earth,” said
Rob Kostich, head of marketing, licensed
products, Activision Publishing, Inc. “The game
transports players to a living, metallic planet
where they will battle as giant converting
robots in single player, online co-op or
head-to-head multiplayer matches that are fully
immersive from start to finish.”
“For the first time, Hasbro is working with
Activision to drive the TRANSFORMERS fiction
forward into new story arcs, demonstrating
pivotal moments in Transformers history that
defined who they are,” said Aaron Archer, Senior
Design Director, Hasbro. “This remarkable video
game helps us to tell a critical event in
TRANSFORMERS lore that will be used as canon for
future storylines in a way we could have only
dreamed of a few years ago. It is a testament to
the success of the TRANSFORMERS brand and a key
element to the story we look forward to telling
in 2010 and beyond.”
Transformers: War for Cybertron features two
distinct storylines: the AUTOBOT campaign tells
a story of heroism to save their home planet
against overwhelming odds, and the DECEPTICON
campaign tells a story of an unquenchable thirst
for power to control the universe. For the first
time in a TRANSFORMERS title, fans will be able
to play the game with their friends through
team-based online co-op, or go head to head in a
variety of intense, online multiplayer game
modes. The game features a sci-fi art style that
introduces fans to the entire living, metallic
world of CYBERTRON, as well as all-new
visualisations of the iconic TRANSFORMERS
characters in their original Cybertronian forms.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is in
development for the Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft,
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system,
Windows PC, Wii™ and Nintendo DS™, and is not
yet rated by PEGI.
