If you've been reading Destructoid for any length of time, you'll likely know that Transformers: War for Cybertron gets quite a bit of love around these parts ... at least from me. So, it's very pleasant news indeed that High Moon Studios' game is getting a sequel.
The title was announced at the Hasbro Investors Day, and penned for a vague 2012 release date. It was also announced that the Transformers MMO will be released outside of Asia, and that an inevitable videogame spin-off of the next movie, The Dark of the Moon, is also coming.
I don't much care for the MMO or the movie tie-in, but I'm really glad that War for Cybertron was considered successful enough to warrant a sequel. I had worried that sales weren't up to snuff, but if they sold enough to please the twin overlords of Activision and Hasbro, then it must have done okay.

lawl I thought it sucked
Never played it but I guess it's good that it's getting a sequel
Maybe Epic will help them out.
WfC was good on it's own but a sequel is the opportunity High Moon needed to make it great. Very excited!
Also do another goddamn double xp weekend. Or even triple xp. It takes FOREVER to level.
Considering Activision's current trend with PC players we should consider it lucky that the game even comes out on PC.
Hopefully we get some bonuses for having maxed out the first WFC.
