Gamespy has posted a brief article giving a few details on Transformers Fall of Cybertron for the PC. Chief among those details and potentially extremely pleasing for all PC gamers wanting to stomp around with Grimlock: Mercenary Technology is making Transformers Fall of Cybertron for the PC with full Steamworks support for multiplayer.

Mercenary is building Transformers: Fall of Cybertron with Steamworks support for multiplayer -- matchmaking, achievements, community features, the whole nine. Livergood [J.D. Livergood, Activision Associate Producer] also promises enhanced textures, lighting, and shadows to help make the Unreal Engine 3-powered game a visual stunner on PC

It is also stated that we will be able to customize keybindings on the PC port of the game.

All in all it sounds as though Mercenary Technology is working with Activision to deliver more than just a quick cash-in port but a properly crafted game which gives PC gamers the Transformers experience that they deserve. Plus Steamworks support for the multiplayer and achievements, which is a fantastic addition according to this newsie's brother, an avid PC gamer.

Fall of Cybertron for PC is set to be a digital exclusive in the US (there will be a retail release overseas, and the game will be available worldwide on Steam), launching at the same time as the console versions on 21 August, aka next month!
