Saber Interactive is officially developing a new game based on one of Hasbro’s major franchises. The announcement was made jointly by Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks, the former president of Wizards of the Coast, who said he was “excited” by the collaboration. The game will be developed by the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, which is slated for release in 2024, and it’s expected to deliver high-intensity single-player action as well as a “huge” amount of multiplayer content made possible by Saber’s Swarm Tech.

Saber Interactive Is Developing a New Game Based on 1 of Hasbro’s Tentpole Franchises
The speculation is already soaking up with which franchise is receiving the AAA remedy. This Allspark universe will be distinct from other Hasbro properties, such as Transformers, G.I. Joe, Power Rangers, Dungeons & Dragons, and Magic: The Gathering. However, given Saber’s history with such action-heavy shooters as Space Marine 2, Transformers would seem to be the most probable candidate. Several franchises already have games in the works, like Atomic Arcade’s upcoming G.I. Joe title featuring Snake Eyes and a slew of upcoming Dungeons & Dragons titles, including one from Starbreeze with a planned 2026 release and another from Demeo developer Resolution Games.
Transformers fans recently faced disappointment with the cancellation of Transformers: Reactivate at Splash Damage, making this new project even more anticipated. Saber’s most successful works align with fast-paced action games, and it seems to have made a good fit with a Transformer adaptation more than what one would imagine a slower game like Magic: The Gathering would require. Still, concrete details are scarce, and it will likely be a while before we learn more.
Meanwhile, Saber Interactive is juggling multiple high-profile projects, including Turok: Origins, a AAA RPG based on Avatar: The Last Airbender, Jurassic Park Survival, and the much-discussed Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake. While this may seem like a heavy workload, Saber is a massive company with numerous studios worldwide and nearly 2,700 employees, making it well-equipped to handle multiple major titles simultaneously.
