Saber Interactive developing AAA game based on “tentpole” Hasbro IP

Led by the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II team.

Saber Interactive‘s Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II team is developing a AAA game based on a “tentpole” Hasbro intellectual property, Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks said during an earnings call today.

“We have many new digital collaborations in the works, but I’m especially excited to announce this one today, being a personal fan of many of this team’s games,” Cocks said. “Hasbro and Saber Interactive will be collaborating on an all-new video game partnership developed by the team behind 2024’s megahit, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II. Combining high-octane single-player action and amazing multiplayer with Saber’s Swarm tech, this new AAA title, based on one of our tentpole IPs, is sure to be a hit.”

Cocks described the agreement as a “co-publishing deal” and clarified that the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II team will be handling development.

“We will use the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II team to develop the project,” Cocks said, as they are “some of the best talent in the industry.”

Further information, such as the specific Hasbro property, was not announced. Hasbro’s most notable brands include Dungeons & Dragons, G.I. Joe, Magic: The Gathering, Power Rangers, and Transformers.
