Last year we heard about a massively multiplayer online game based on the Transformers franchise being rolled out in China. Now the same thing is happening, but this time it's going to be released in the west.

 

UK-based Jagex, who is probably best known for the free-to-play MMO RuneScape, has struck a deal with Hasbro which will se the two jointly create an online game based on the Teansformers brand. The game is set to be released sometime next year in North America, Latin America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.

 

"Hasbro’s decision to align with Jagex speaks to the quality of their award-winning development and publishing team that boasts an outstanding track record of delivering  innovative and fun online games capable of reaching millions of gamers across the globe," said Mark Blecher, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital Gaming and Media at Hasbro. "We are extremely excited to create a dream team that combines Transformers brand stewards with Jagex development experts to deliver an epic Transformers gaming experience to fans in 2012."

 

"Transformers is one of the most iconic brands in the world and we are delighted to team up with Hasbro in order to bring our shared vision to reality,” said Mark Gerhard, CEO at Jagex Games Studio. “There is a huge appetite for an online Transformers game and we will utilize every bit of our development and publishing expertise to deliver a dynamic and action-packed game that Tansformers fans will find irresistible."

 

This new game will bolster Hasbro's Transformers game franchise. The Asian Transformers MMO is being handled by NetDragon while Activision has secured the license to publish Transformers games for home video game consoles and handhelds.
