Not till I get a Power Rangers Warriors!

Been calling for that for what feels like an eternity...

Hasbro‘s Wizards Of The Coast division (previously a subsidiary) has opened up a new digital games division called New Raleigh-Durham Studio to develop AAA titles (for PC and Consoles) based on Hasbro properties.

This new division is lead by game industry veterans from big companies such as WB Games (Hitman series, Batman: Arkham series, etc.).

Honestly, I'd see a LoL/Pokemon Unite style MOBA before an MMO. MMOs are ungodly expensive.

Which platform is that?

PC. Navigating menus and moving things on a grid is a job for a mouse.

History is littered with failed MMOs. Hell, history is littered with failed Transformers MMOs. I don't see this new company breaking the trend.

I'd argue the many successful tactics games on consoles kinda defeat that arguement.

Fire Emblem says hello.

Yeah, I can see how PC inputs would be well-suited to the genre, but also I literally can't name one for the PC, whereas I have two different devices on my person as I type this that have had Fire Emblem games made for them.

It's a shame too, if there was ANY franchise that was a perfect fit for game where you play one of a million generic characters who fit into a preexisting visual and class based categories, who are constantly running around upgrading themselves, set against the backdrop a faction war, it's Transformers.
