Transformers: War for Cybertron is an upcoming third-person shooter video game developed by High Moon Studios and published by Activision. It is scheduled to be released on June 22, 2010 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Two portable versions will be released for the Nintendo DS. A game for the Nintendo Wii called Transformers: Cybertron Adventures is being developed by Next Level Games and utilizes the same characters and setting as War for Cybertron. Hasbro also has a toy line releasing in 2010 based on War for Cybertron. The multiplayer demo was released on June 10, 2010 onto the Xbox Live Marketplace and is an Xbox 360 exclusive. It allows players to experience either "Soldier" or "Scout" class warriors.
Transformers: War for Cybertron is a third person shooter that takes place prior to the original Transformers animated series, when the Transformers still lived on the fictional machine planet Cybertron. The game has two distinct campaigns, one for each faction. The story of the Decepticon campaign is a prelude to the Autobot campaign's story. Both campaigns can be played in single-player or cooperatively via online multiplayer, and can drop in or out of the game at any time. Each campaign level features three playable Transformers. If fewer than three players are present, the game's AI controls the remaining playable characters.
