Choose your side: Balancing the Autobot versus Decepticon war in Transformers Universe

In the Transformers war, it’s Autobots versus Decepticons. Two sides, one battle. But balancing an online game — based on a 30-year-old toy, comic, and movie franchise — where players make such a defining choice is tough.

At a recent preview event in London, Jagex revealed its vision for Transformers Universe, a free-to-play online game that pits teams of players against each other in fast, frantic but tactical combat across a range of maps and terrains. With competitive and cooperative elements in place, the developer hopes it will appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers.
