Summary
According to a new rumor, Microsoft could have multipleTransformersprojects in the works. Be they tie-ins to existingTransformersmovies and shows or original adaptations likeTransformers: War for Cybertronand its sequels, Hasbro’s juggernaut toy franchise has spawned several video games of varying quality and acclaim over its 40-year lifespan - with some of the most notable ones being published by Microsoft subsidiary Activision.
More recently,Transformershas seemingly been relegated to smaller mobile titles and spin-offs like the upcomingTransformers: Galactic Trials, as well as crossover appearances in the likes ofOverwatch 2andFortnite. Almost two years ago,developer Splash Damage announcedTransformers: Reactivate, a 1-4 player online action game that sees humans discover and reawaken some of the franchise’s most beloved Autobots and Decepticons to battle an alien threat to both Earth and Cybertron alike. However, very little has been revealed sinceTransformers: Reactivatewas first revealed at The Game Awards 2022.
In the meantime, a new rumor hints that there might bemoreTransformersgaming actionon the horizon in 2024. A recent post on theTransformers-centric fansiteTFW2005claims that Microsoft Studios is working on at least two unannounced titles simply code-named “Transformers.” Nothing else is stated beyond that, save that Microsoft is reportedly aiming to release both these projects at some point later this year.
New Transformers Games Could Be In Development
It is also worth pointing out that Microsoft now owns Activision, the publisher behindsuch titles asTransformers: War for Cybertronand its 2012 sequelTransformers: Fall of Cybertron. Both these fan-favorite titles were delisted from digital storefronts a few years ago, but Hasbro recently expressed a desire to bring them back on Xbox Game Pass in the wake of the franchise’s renewed popularity and upcoming cinematic projects like the upcomingTransformers Oneanimated film.
One of these rumoredTransformersprojects could very well be a re-release oftheTransformers: War for Cybertronseries, especially since Hasbro has debunked past claims that the code for the games was lost. However, it should be stressed that nothing has been officially confirmed as of this writing, meaning that these newTransformersprojects might not even be real. With that in mind,Transformersfans should keep their sensors posted for any future developments on when or if the classic Robots in Disguise will resume their epic battle in a new video game.
