If you grew up in the 1980s, one of the hottest toy lines were the Transformers. Their introduction into the American toy market seized the imagination of children everywhere. Who couldn't love the toys? You had a cool looking robot that could transform into a car or plane! With lots of different cartoon series, different sets of canon, and multiple hit movies, the Transformers franchise is getting ready to hit online gaming with the browser mmo, Transformers Universe.
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.
