transformers speeds into racing adventure with rogue-lite twist

Transformers: Galactic Trials, a new racing adventure rogue-lite game, is set for release on October 11, 2024, across PC and consoles. Developed by 3DClouds and published by Outright Games, this is the first console Transformers racing game. Players can choose from iconic characters like Bumblebee, Megatron, Elita-1, and Optimus Prime, racing to recover powerful Prime Relics stolen by NEMESIS PRIME. The game includes a single-player mode, Galactic Trials, as well as a two-player co-op Arcade mode. As players collect relics, they level up, unlocking new characters and skins. The game features both traditional arcade racing and dynamic combat.

Transformers: Galactic Trials will be available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X and S.

Transformers is enjoying a busy year as it celebrates its 40th anniversary. Alongside the game release, a CG-animated film titled "Transformers One" is set to premiere in September, and a live-action Transformers/G.I. Joe crossover movie is also in development. The franchise, which began in the early 1980s, has seen numerous adaptations across various media, including TV series, comics, and blockbuster films.
