Following the massive success of Baldur’s Gate 3<\/a><\/em> in 2023, which continues to make waves, Hasbro has expressed interest in collaborating with major game studios to adapt its properties. It appears that the company has found a new partner in Saber Interactive, the developer behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

During a recent earnings call, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks announced that the two companies are joining forces on “an all-new video game partnership,” which promises to deliver “high-octane single-player action and amazing multiplayer” utilizing Saber’s Swarm tech. This upcoming AAA title, based on one of Hasbro’s flagship IPs, is expected to be a hit. The news is noteworthy for several reasons: Saber has multiple subsidiaries, including one working on an Avatar<\/a><\/em> game, but Cocks specifically mentioned the St. Petersburg team that led the development of Space Marine II<\/em>. Given the immense popularity of Space Marine II<\/em>, one of the most successful Warhammer 40K<\/em> video games to date, it’s clear why this team was chosen for the project.<\/p>\n

The question on everyone’s mind is which “tentpole” Hasbro property this new game will be based on. One possibility is Transformers, especially since developer Splash Damage canceled Transformers: Reactivate<\/a><\/em>, a co-op shooter that would have been the franchise’s first major, non-tie-in game in a while. Alternatively, it could be G.I. Joe<\/em>, which is making a comeback to theaters as part of the Transformers<\/a><\/em> universe, or Magic: The Gathering<\/em>, which has recently received a significant expanded media push, including a Netflix series<\/a> and a live-action movie<\/a>. Another possibility is Dungeons & Dragons<\/em>, given that Saber’s involvement in a new D&D<\/em> game would generate significant buzz, especially after the success of Baldur’s Gate 3<\/em> and the upcoming demise of Dark Alliance<\/em>, a co-op action-RPG that goes offline on Monday.<\/p>\n

With several potential candidates, the possibilities are endless. Share your predictions or hopes in the comments section below.<\/p>\n[via Polygon]\n
