War for Cybertron (game)



Transformers: War for Cybertron is an upcoming video game for Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. High Moon Studios is developing the game, taking cues from the Gears of War franchise to build its gameplay foundation.

The character designs are a cross between Generation One and the movies, although they lean heavily toward the original, so characters such as Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream and even Soundwave all have their iconic colors and shapes. Grimlock will also be in the DS game, except he transforms into a Cybertronian tank rather than a tyrannosaurus rex. The game's story takes place before the Transformers leave Cybertron and arrive on Earth. According to IGN, Hasbro is adopting this story as canon. there will also be a multiplayer concept involving possible level progression and rpg style customization. There are 4 classes the player can create up to 3 custom slots for each: Scout, Scientist, Leader, and Soldier.

The game is set to be released on June 22, 2010. For the UK, it is set to release on June 25, 2010.
