We have received some intel stating that Microsoft Studios is working on not just one but two video game projects simply (code)named Transformers.

While we do not have any information at the moment, both projects seem to be targeting this year for their release.

It is interesting that Microsoft Studios now owns Activision Blizzard (formerly known as Activision). The company, prior to the acquisition by the tech giant, published multiple Transformers-related video game titles including Transformers: War For Cybertron and its follow-up Fall Of Cybertron.

There has been a renewed fan interest for the aforementioned games in recent times

We will update you all as we receive more info.

It's 2024 are we sure that codename is related to robots and not their staff?

 

[StereoVsn]

Xbox PS5 Pro titles incoming!

What are the chances these games would be any good? My kids kind of like Transformers so I wouldn’t mind even if these was more younger crowd oriented titles.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

Re-releases is my guess.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

I just can't see how it'll be anything remotely interesting if it's not related to original G1-2, Headmasters, Victory or SGMF - the last three never even had high quality dedicated games. And of course if High Moon is not involved, I'm not interested.

But if I were to guess, it'll probably be WFC and FOC remasters or re-releases for all modern platforms and PC.

Is the Transformers really a good mass market IP? One would have imagined how Transformers: Devastation should have sold like hotcakes with its developer pedigree, but it passed gently into the good night without ever making an impact. Delisted and forgotten.
Same with Macross.

MS Studios: robots in disguise

Sales-wise I kind of agree. Quality-wise, they have had a pretty decent track record of fun and experimental games.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

No more FPS for fuck sake

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

I am fully expecting rereleases or remasters to happen considering the amount of Transformer games did Activision make.

I really hope they remaster and re-release Devastation. It was a fantastic game and it's sad that it was just tossed to the side and is hard to get now without shelling out some serious $$$.

Transformers man dem in disguise.

 

[Dane]

Its probably the two Cybertron games

 

[Sanepar]

What a waste of resources...

Given they're releasing this year according to the rumours and we've seen nothing of them I'd say you're right on the money.

 

[ManaByte]

Fall of Cybertron was remastered on the Xbox One and is of course BC. They could just be relisting that.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Sounds as awful as the rumored Men in Black game.

 

[Negotiator101]

Fall of Cybertron was remastered on the Xbox One and is of course BC. They could just be relisting that.

2 titles.

 

[Quasicat]

My guess is that it is a rerelease since it sounds like they haven’t been in development very long and they are scheduled for 2024.

 

[T4keD0wN]

2 titles.

"Transformers Reactivate" was supposed to launch in 2024 so one of those projects has to be it

 

[ManaByte]

Activision Transformers games relisted on Xbox and Steam (not available for purchase yet)

The Cybertron games on PC, the Fall of Cybertron Xbox One remaster, and the garbage Dark Spark

[raduque]

I have all 3 Cybertron games and Devastation on Steam, so these are gonna have to be good remasters for me to double dip.

 

[BoxFresh123]

Pentiment x Transformers

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I'd love a narrative hack-and-slash with huge bosses, based on the old comic arcs.

Not happening, though. It will likely be shit.

 

[Ristifer]

Anything to do with that Cybertron series and I’m one happy mofo. Glad I still own Devastation as well.

 

[Judge Magister]

I know nothing about Transformers. I only played Devastation because PlatinumGames and liked it alot.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like there might be something to this rumor afterall.
