Jagex is a company that is no stranger to the MMO market. Known primarily for the somewhat free-to-play game, Runescape, the developer undoubtedly has a fair amount of experience under its belt.Considering the past success of Runescape in particular, the current Transformers rights holder, Hasbro, quickly turned to Jagex in regards to developing the newly announced Transformers MMO–referring to the company as having an “outstanding track record.”
CEO of Jagex, Mark Gerhard, offered the following statement concerning the developer’s future release: “There is a huge appetite for an online Transformers game and we will utilize every bit of our development and publishing expertise to deliver a dynamic and action-packed game that Transformers fans will find irresistible.” Personally, I’m not entirely convinced that the market is currently demanding a Transformers MMO, but we shall see upon the launch of the game in 2012.
One question that immediately comes to mind is whether this MMO will feature “classic” Transformers, or if it will be more “Michael Bay-esque”.
