Summary
Saber Interactive, the development studio behind last year’s mega-hit shooterWarhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, is reportedly developing a game based on a franchise held by production companyHasbro. The parent company ofDungeons and Dragonsowner Wizards of the Coast,Hasbroowns a huge number of beloved toy and game franchises, includingG.I. Joe, Transformers, My Little Pony, and more.
Saber Interactive is entering 2025 on a strong note. Despite releasing relatively late into the year,Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2broke massive sales milestones, becoming the fastest-selling game the studio ever produced. The game was also a critical success, helping revive the then-dormantSpace Marineseries and reaffirming theWarhammer 40,000franchise’s broad appeal and commercial prospects in a competitive AAA gaming market.
Now Hasbro, another major IP holder, is turning to Saber Interactive to potentially replicate that success. According tocomments made by Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks, the company is working with Saber Interactive to develop a new game based on a major Hasbro-owned IP. Cocks did not specify which of Hasbro’s many IPs would be the subject of Saber’s new game.One of the best recent games based on a Hasbro franchise isBaldur’s Gate 3, which won multiple awards and is based onDungeons & Dragons.
New Hasbro AAA Game to be Developed By Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Team
Cocks delivered his comments during a Hasbro earnings call held on July 27, 2025. He narrowed down the potential range of candidates by saying that Saber’s new game will be based on one of Hasbro’s “tentpole” franchises. Cocks claimed to be a personal fan of many of Saber’s games, particularlySpace Marine 2, and praised the latter as an example ofgames with great single-player and multiplayer modes. Cock’s comments also mentioned Saber’s “Swarm tech,” the technical solution the studio used to render huge groups of alien Terminid enemies inSpace Marine 2.
The comments by Hasbro immediately ignited speculation as to which of Hasbro’s many franchises would be adapted into AAA game form by Saber’sSpace Marine 2team. Hasbro already has multiple games in the works, including ones based onDungeons and Dragons, an original RPG from former BioWare developers calledExodus, and even a new game based onG.I. Joe’s Snake Eyes character.
One potential candidate for a new Hasbro franchise title could beTransformers. The setting is a good fit for theSpace Marine 2team’s clear experience making large-scale action games with high-end visuals. On top of that, despite being a major Hasbro IP, there hasn’t been a majorTransformersgame release in some time, withSplash Damage’sTransformers: Reactivategetting canceledearlier this year. Whatever it turns out to be based on, Hasbro seems to have chosen a reliable partner in Saber for its next major title.
