Saber Interactive delivered one of 2024’s best games in the form of Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, and we now know more about what’s next for the development team.
Hasbro announced during its recent quarterly earnings briefing that it has partnered with Saber Interactive for a AAA project based on one of its IP, to be developed by the Space Marine 2 team. Hasbro owns several major properties, including Dungeons and Dragons, Transformers, Magic: The Gathering, G.I. Joe, and others.
According to Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks, the Saber title will be based on one of Hasbro’s “tentpole IPs”, and will use the Swarm engine, which was utilized for Space Marine 2’s development as well.
“We have many new digital collaborations in the works, but I am especially excited to announce this one today as a personal fan of many of this team’s games,” Cocks said. “Hasbro and Saber Interactive will be collaborating on an all-new videogame partnership developed by the team behind 2024’s mega-hit,
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2. Combining high-octane single-player action and amazing multi-play with Saber’s Swarm tech, this new AAA title based on one of our tentpole IPs is sure to be a hit.”
What we do not know yet is which IP Saber and Hasbro have chosen to work on together. Cocks did confirm, however, that the game will be co-published by the two companies.
Saber Interactive currently has a couple other AAA licensed titles in development as well, including Jurassic Park: Survival and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic – Remake.
