Outright Games, 3DClouds and Hasbro have revealed the racing game Transformers: Galactic Trials. It’s steering onto consoles and PCs later this year.
The on-and-offline racer based on the iconic franchise promises a unique kind of racing adventure game that fuses rogue-lite elements, arcade racing and robot combat.
After the evil Nemesis Prime steals the Prime Relics, the Autobots and Decepticons must set out on a rip-roaring adventure to recover these artifacts and control the incredible powers they bestow. Fans can play as iconic Autobots or Decepticons, including Bumblebee, Megatron, Elita-1, and Optimus Prime, and race across battle-race circuits to collect relics and beat opponents. The gameplay incorporates both traditional arcade racing in vehicle form and dynamic combat in bot-form, as players must defeat enemies and make it to the finish line.
As players progress and collect new relics, they will level up their skills and unlock new iconic playable characters and skins. Two game modes are available: play Galactic Trials to progress through levels and collect relics in single-player mode. In Arcade mode, grab a friend with a 2-player, local multiplayer and enter a quick race, creating a custom racing experience with your track, character, and weapons, or enter location-based specialized tournaments.
When is the Transformers: Galactic Trials release date?
The Transformers: Galactic Trials release date is set for October 11, 2024. It will launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Steam.
