TRANSFORMERS: GALACTIC TRIALS TO DELIVER UNIQUE AUTOBOT AND DECEPTICON COMBAT
The game is developed by 3DClouds and is described as a unique racing adventure game with rogue-lite elements, fusing arcade racing and robot combat. The game is out later this October, and it’s currently in the works for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Windows PC via Steam.
In Galactic Trials, Nemesis Prime steals the Prime Relics, so the Autobots and Decepticons must now set on a daring adventure to recover them and their incredible powers. Players will be able to play as iconic characters, including Bumblebee, Megatron, Elita-1, and Optimus Prime in a race across battle-race circuits to collect the relics and beat opponents.
Galactic Trials will incorporate both traditional arcade racing elements in vehicle form, with dynamic combat in bot-form. Players must defeat enemies and make it to the finish line. As they progress and collect new relics, they will level up their skills and unlock new iconic playable characters and skins.
The game will feature two gameplay modes: Galactic Trials to progress through levels and collect relics in single-player mode. There is also Arcade Mode, which will have two-player, local multiplayer for a quick race, and players can also create a custom racing experience with their own track, character, and weapons. They can also enter location-based specialized tournaments.
Speaking on the announcement, Outright Games Managing Director Stephanie Malham said on the upcoming game, “It has been a pleasure to continue our collaboration with Hasbro and return to the world of Transformers.” She continued, “With 2024 marking the 40th anniversary of this iconic IP, we are very excited to be releasing the first-ever console racing video game in the franchise’s history. With the inclusion of rogue-lite elements, Transformers: Galactic Trials’s gameplay complements the dynamic Transformers robots.”
SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Eugene Evans commented, “As Transformers celebrates its 40th year alongside the theatrical premiere of its first fully CG-animated film, Transformers One, we are proud to continue our collaboration with Outright Games to unveil an epic journey that speaks to the enduring legacy of the iconic brand.”
Evans added, “With immersive gameplay, and a storyline that resonates with fans old and new, TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials is sure to ignite excitement. Through this all-new TRANSFORMERS racing experience, we continue to expand our digital offerings through strategic licensing and internal development and we can’t wait for Transformers fans to see what else we have in store.”
