PCG:Jagex Games Studio are no strangers to long-running epic battles, having run the online RPG RuneScape since way back in 2001. Now they’re set to launch their second large-scale MMO. Transformers Universe describes the face-off between altruistic Autobots and sneering, pantomime villain Decepticons. It might be based on a toy property, and it might be a free-to-play browser game, but it isn’t just for kids.
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.
