Worldwide Transformers MMO Planned

A while back a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) based on Transformers was announced by China's NetDragon that was planned only for the Asian market (Japan, China, etc). According to Joystiq, the rest of the world will get a Transformers MMORPG to play thanks to the United Kingdom's Jagex. The only real bit of information is that Hasbro has signed an agreement to create the game for North America, Latin America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand for launch in 2012. According to Kotaku, they learned via Jagex's PR department that the game will be "partly on Transformers Prime ...though is said the feature characters from Generation One and other Transformers universes. Past that no information was provided so questions like how it will be implemented, story, and so forth will have to remain unanswered for now. I get a sneaking suspicion that the recent DC Universe Online game will help provide the template on how the game details will be worked out. (via TFW2005, thanks to Sahara for link)Read More »
