Just over a year ago, Square Enix announced a new Avengers project in production at Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal as part of a multi-year, multi-game arrangement with Marvel.
We've heard so little about those plans since the initial tease, I had forgotten any of this was in the works. But, to quickly recap, the Avengers game will tell an "original story," "introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come," and include "characters, environments, and iconic moments that have thrilled longtime fans of the franchise." Also, based on job listings posted last year, it seems to be a "third-person cover-based action-adventure game" emphasizing online experiences.
No new specifics have surfaced today, but there is a slight update on the Avengers front.
Uncharted: The Lost Legacy creative director Shaun Escayg recently left Naughty Dog, and it would seem he's taking a position at Crystal Dynamics to work on the studio's Avengers project.
Seven years ago I joined the talented team at @Naughty_Dog on a project still in its infancy, The Last Of Us. Well, the rest is history. Left Behind, Uncharted 4 were fleeting and Uncharted The Lost Legacy pushed my creative growth even further- I will miss all my dogs.

Escayg, who previously worked in the film industry, teased his career move on Instagram.
I'm super curious to see what this game looks like. I can't picture their vision yet.

2005 forums member catz has posted a set of product listings for Hasbro's 2018 offerings! Among the more expected things like the Power of the Primes Titan Class figure (Predaking) are a number of new items, including a new Movie Masterpiece figure, and as-yet unknown items like the previously rumored "Energon Igniters" as well as some Generations item referred to as "Project Storm" - which is said to be a very small item such as perhaps a blind-bag series. Fingers crossed for blind-bagged Titan Masters at least, but meanwhile keep reading for the list!
RAC continues his look back at 2017 with his three favorite comics of the year - plus a couple of runners-up! It's been a good year for Transformers comics overall, and there've been some pleasant surprises for us. Including - and RAC was very skeptical about the possibility of this at the beginning of last year - some Shared Hasbro Universe books that turned out truly excellent. Keep reading to see the list! ...well, it's more of an article. We need a word that combines those two things...
Continuing in thier super detailed series of Transformers Generation 1 statues and busts. We have the Quntessons Statue teaser just in from Imaginarium Art. There's not a lot to see yet, with simply shillouettes of the their heads. Unmistakable as they are, the text reference to the "Five Faces of Darkness" leaves little doubt. Read on to see the image and full quote from Imaginarium Art on the project.
