![]() “We definitely want to partner with video game companies, clearly Nintendo partnered with Lego and they made a Nintendo system, or there was the Super Nintendo Transformer at one point in Japan, like we would love to be able to do something along those lines,” they said. “We want those games back up for people to have a chance to play."Īs for future video games, Hasbro said “everything is always on the table” - expressing enthusiasm to partner with pretty much anyone who puts a good enough idea forward. “Hope is that now that the deal is moving forward with Microsoft and Xbox that they’ll go through all of the archives and every hard drive to find it all, because it’s an easy Game Pass add,” Hasbro said. That said, salvation may apparently be at hand if the Microsoft acquisition of Activision goes through, with Hasbro optimistic that Microsoft might dig out the older Transformers games and bring them to Game Pass. Apparently Activision kept unhelpfully sending concept art when asked for the assets, which doesn't exactly bode well. Hasbro added that they already have everything for Fall of Cybertron and some of the War for Cyberstorn assets, but had to boot up an old PC and rip them from the original game files to find them. “When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.” "Sadly, apparently Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building,” they said. Part of the problem, Hasbro says, is that the games have ended up lost in Activision’s many mergers and acquisitions over the years. ![]() That’s something that even Hasbro would like to change, with the team telling Transformer fansite Transformer World 2005 that they would love to see the games re-released. The cel-shaded look draws from the original Transformers cartoons rather than the industrial grimdark Bay films, with the game also seeing the return of original voice actors from the TV show.Īfter Activision’s licensing deal expired with Hasbro in 2017, all of the publisher’s Transformers games were pulled from sale on digital stores, making it impossible to play them today through convenient, legitimate means unless you already own a disc and play via Xbox backwards compatibility. (Please nobody ruin my definitely-accurate memories.) The two games were followed by another sequel, Rise of the Dark Spark, which combined the video games’ lore with the events of the Michael Bay movies.Īctivision’s last Transformers game was 2015’s Devastation, a cel-shaded hack-and-slash from Bayonetta studio PlatinumGames, of all developers. Those original games are definitely the more interesting potential here, including 2010’s War for Cybertron and its 2012 sequel Fall of Cybertron, which I remember having good, B-game fun with at the time.
