MMO team suffers 13 lay offs, game to be rebuilt

Transformers Universe developer Jagex has let 13 people from the MMO’s team go, following a shift in tech. One insider at the company has said the game is currently in a “precarious position”.

Eurogamer has been told that the lay-offs will not “adversely impact” Transformers Universe, and that the redundancies stem from Jagex moving the project to established tech, and away from in-house tools.

Speaking with the site, an insider voiced concern, because while the new tech will speed up development, they said the team now has six months to essentially remake the MMO.

The site was also provided with a statement by Jagex on the matter that began, “Having reviewed the remaining work required for the upcoming Transformers Universe launch we have made the decision to scale the development team back slightly.

“We have always been committed to developing the highest quality games and services and are confident that this reduction will not adversely impact the game. The vast majority of the Transformers studio will be unaffected by this move.

“On a positive note a significant portion of the talent potentially effected have already been reallocated to support the upcoming release of RuneScape 3 in HTML 5 and the RuneScape 3 on tablets project slated for the end of the year.

“Regrettably we have not been able to find suitable roles for 13 members of the team who will be leaving the studio later this month. We will be revealing more details about the game on www.transformersuniverse.com shortly.”

We’ve been working hard and now we can give you a glimpse into the battle between Autobots and Decepticons, as we run up to launch this summer. Using our in-engine technology we are really excited to show you what we’re doing and where we’re going in Transformers Universe.

But, as with any campaign, we can’t do this without you. Sure we have an army waiting in the wings to assist your efforts but we need you! What can you do with a plasma rifle? How keen is your sniper sight? What’s the range on your grenade launcher?

Become a commander, recruit from a range of exclusive Transformers and get out there; tactics, strategy, and cunning are welcome here. If you haven’t already done so, sign up for our exclusive Beta and get the inside intel from our Mission HQ team.

State of the Factions

We are 100% set to launch Transformers Universe this Summer, and will be progressively inviting an ever-widening portion of the Beta community to enjoy the game before opening it to the rest of the world this summer!

We’ve built a massively online, tactical action game, or MOTA as I like to call it! Transformers Universe offers fast-paced, battle centric, tactical action with a selection of game modes for core gamers, casual gamers and Transformers enthusiasts alike.

As the Commander of a new squad, you will recruit, maintain and battle others with a unique collection of Transformers warriors created in collaboration with our friends at Hasbro.

Autobots versus Decepticons, you’ll team up to play with and against other Commanders around the world in tactical and strategic online battles, competing for supremacy in the global faction war. Legendary Transformers characters will make special appearances – but more on that another time!

Your squad of Bots are a faction-specific collection with their own play styles, weaponry, augment options and specialties. There are countless fighting strategies when battling them and we really believe they will crystallise, embody and capture both what Transformers is all about and your imaginations.

2014 is the launch year for Transformers Universe and the start of an epic journey as you #testyourmetal. Soon you’ll be able to experience this for yourself as we roll out to Beta.

I really like the idea but have no faith in the developer.
