Outright Games in collaboration with Hasbro a leading toy and game company, is excited to reveal a brand-new character reveal trailer for the upcoming video game, TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials. TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials finds players on a mission to recover the powerful Prime Relics from the evil Nemesis Prime in this fast-paced rogue-lite racing game, inspired by the iconic TRANSFORMERS franchise, and developed by 3DClouds.
The new trailer showcases all 11 playable characters including Autobots Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Elita-1, Wheeljack, and Arcee, along with Decepticons Megatron, Shockwave, Flamewar, Soundwave, Nightbird, and Nemesis Prime. Fans will begin the game playing as iconic characters Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron, and will unlock additional characters as they progress. Each character comes equipped with two unique skills and a range of eight powerful weapons to customise each race. In the trailer, fans can get a first look of the power of Optimus Prime's gravitational axe throw, Bumblebee's plasma stings, Elita-1’s Missile Rain, and Wheeljack’s wrecking bomb.
TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials finds the Autobots and Decepticons on an important mission to recover the Prime Relics, which grants significant power to those who hold them and have been stolen by Nemesis Prime. Battling and racing their way through the single-player Galactic Trials game mode, players will uncover relics to enhance their speed, damage, and handling. To shift gears and test their driving skills against a friend, TRANSFORMERS fans can compete in the game’s Arcade Mode equipped with local multiplayer for up to two people.
“We’re pleased to be giving fans a brand-new look at TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials, and we can’t wait for them to experience the action-packed combat and high-speed races waiting for them in game,” said Stephanie Malham, Managing Director at Outright Games. “Working with Hasbro on a TRANSFORMERS rogue-lite racing game has been an incredible experience and we hope TRANSFORMERS fans of all ages enjoy this unique hybrid game.”
