High Moon Studios is no stranger to the Transformers according to Game Informer 201’s new article featuring Transformers: The War for Cybertron . This is “the game I’ve been waiting 25 years to play”, says Matt Tieger, Game Director at High Moon. A wait that many fans have shared.

Gameplay will feature shooting, in a third person style reminiscent of the Gears of War series. Expect the dynamic elements of Transformation, including into air craft, to weigh in on that tried formula though. Most weapons will be standardized, be changeable and use ammo. Health will regenerate when fire is avoided.

A co-op feature is planned, and while it is unknown what the final number of simultaneous players will be, the levels available for play all had 2 AI controlled players fighting alongside the player character. Online multiplayer has been a part of design from day one, High Moon hasn’t given any of those features away just yet.

In a world made for Transformers, it could be easy to lose sense of scale, Activision says not to worry though, you’ll know you’re a giant robot, even as Omega Supreme looms over you as a boss in the Decepticon campaign.

The campaigns are set one after the other, the first is from the Decepticon perspective, as Megatron pursues something called “Dark Energon”, once he is victorious, the Autobot campaign begins. Apparently this story is so compelling that Hasbro is accepting it as canon for the franchise.
