EDGE: "As its stands, Transformers Universe isn’t quite the MMOG that you’d assume the maker of the spawning, traditional and rather crude-looking RPG RuneScape would produce. Yes, it’s also free-to-play and runs in a browser, but it sports detailed 3D graphics and isn’t a huge world-spanning game built on questing and crafting. Instead, it’s a tight multiplayer action game with a focus on story and collection, and it’s strongly influenced by the leading online games of today: the likes of League Of Legends and World Of Tanks."
2014 was a great year for MOBAs. But with great strides, though, came some pitfalls. Transformers Universe will officially shut down servers at 10AM GMT on January 31st, and Dawngate will close at 10Pm PDT on February 4th. Here is a look back at each of the two games.
Today Jagex and Hasbro confirmed that Transformers Universe will close. This decision comes at an important time for both companies as they both realign their plans and focuses for 2015.
Jagex has confirmed that the team working on Transformers Universe is going to be getting a little bit smaller as layoffs are coming. The downsizing is coming as Jagex reaches a new level of development with a more refined focus towards live. In a statement to GamesIndustry.biz Jagex had this to say.
