Two new Transformers games rumoured to be in the works

Under Activision, Transformers fans were treated to some of the best games ever based on the brand. Titles like Transformers: War for Cybertron, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron and Transformers: Devastation are highly-regarded, but remain sadly unavailable on current platforms.

According to a rumour from Transformers fan site TFW2005, Xbox Game Studios is working on two different games based on the franchise, targeting a release this year.

If that truly is the case, the most likely scenario is some kind of remaster for the two Cybertron games from 2010 and 2012, previously unavailable on modern platforms. It’s unclear if the remasters will be Xbox exclusives or available on other platforms like PlayStation, Steam and Switch.

Jurassic World: Rebirth expands cast

Jurassic World: Rebirth has added Bechir Sylvain from Black Summer to its cast. Universal recently unveiled first-look photos featuring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey. Directed by Gareth Edwards, the film follows a team led by Johansson’s character, Zora Bennett, on a mission to secure DNA from the world’s largest dinosaurs. The plot involves a dangerous discovery and an isolated island setting. Edwards, a long-time fan of Jurassic Park, is excited to direct this sequel, with David Koepp writing the script.

FF14 director hints at possible Switch 2 release

Final Fantasy XIV may soon come to a Nintendo platform. At Gamescom, director Naoki ‘Yoshi-P’ Yoshida hinted at the possibility, though he suggested it might be for the rumoured “Switch 2” rather than the current Switch.

Yoshida confirmed that discussions and progress are being made toward this goal, as part of Square Enix’s strategy to release the game on more platforms. While details about the Switch 2 are still scarce, rumours suggest it could be revealed within the next few months, with a release in 2025.
