Transformers: Fall of Cybertron coming in fall 2012 from War for Cybertron dev

War has already been waged on the Transformers’ home planet of Cybertron. Now that planet will Fall. Transformers: War for Cybertron developer High Moon Studios has been owning the gaming side of the Transformers franchise since that game’s 2010 release. The studio also did this year’s video game treatment of Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Both Fall and Dark were reasonably well-received, and so High Moon will repeat its efforts for Fall.

The Activision press release has very little to say about the game, pointing to Game Informer’s November 2011 issue, in which the official reveal is featured as a cover story (with limited edition covers! wheeeeee!). GI of course has a post up on its website to tease the upcoming game, but there’s no information offered.

In other words, buy the magazine.

War for Cybertron did some things really right, particularly in the realm of fan service. The game itself was ultimately somewhat repetitive and light on complexity, but High Moon has always done strong work (see also: The Bourne Conspiracy). Hopefully the dev team took some valuable lessons from War and Dark that they’re now applying to Fall.\

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
