Today Activision provided details on the sequel to Transformers: War for Cybertron. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron will arrive in 2012.
Fall of Cybertron depicts the last hours of the bitter civil war between the Autobots and Decepticons. It will end with the two forces leaving the planet of Cybertron for good. Hopefully the game doesn't end with them meeting Shia Labeouf.
"High Moon Studios is an extremely talented development team having raised the bar of gameplay and Transformers authenticity in their games," said David Oxford, Executive Vice President at Activision Publishing. "Transformers: Fall of Cybetron is an extraordinary project both for the studio and the Transformers gaming legacy — the stakes are higher and the scale much larger than ever before, and we absolutely cannot wait for fans to see all the new characters and epic action that awaits them."
Fall will be featured in Game Informer's November 2011 issue. The issue hits newsstands on October 14th. Cover art from the issue is below.
"Hasbro has worked hand in hand with Activision to create a fully original storyline that details the climactic battles leading to the famed exodus of the Transformers characters from Cybertron," said Mark Blecher, SVP of Digital Media and Marketing, Hasbro. "Our team at Hasbro is looking forward to exploring and expanding the Transformers story again with an incredible blockbuster video game that will blow fans away next year."
War for Cybertron was released for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. Presumably Fall will appear on the same platforms. Development is once again being handled by High Moon Studios.
