Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark announced

For current and next-gen consoles

Activision and Hasbro have announced a new game called Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark. Set to go with upcoming film Transformers: Age of Extinction, this third-person action game will feature 40 characters from two universes fighting to get the Dark Spark. Expect a release on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii U, PC and 3DS.

Players will be able to switch between playing Autobots and Decepticons during the single-player campaign. Multiplayer is also on the table, with the fan favorite Escalation mode returning. A new leveling system merges single-player and multiplayer into one development path.

Activision says to expect fast-paced running and gunning and vehicle action in the vein of High Moon Studios’ past Cybertron releases.
