The latest Transformers game was barely announced a week ago, but Activision have officially confirmed that the title will be headed to the Wii and DS along with the 360, PS3, and PC. They also revealed some new information about the game. The game's story will be considered canon and used for future storylines. The game will also support online multiplayer, including an online co-op mode.

We've known about it for a week, but today Activision officially announced Transformers: War for Cybertron (planet pictured above) and confirmed that versions for Wii and the Nintendo DS are in development as well.

That makes it five platforms for the game - including the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions we already knew about. A news release says Hasbro and developer High Moon Studios will be cooperating on the prequel's story, which will establish much of the Autobots' and Decepticons' stories before their arrival on Earth. Hasbro's Aaron Archer, senior design director, said the game's story will be "used as canon for future storylines in a way we could have only dreamed of a few years ago."
