NEW TRANSFORMERS VIDEO GAME ANNOUNCED – THE FIRST TO BE BASED ON HIT ANIMATED SERIES ‘TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK’
Play as Bumblebee in ‘TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK – Expedition’ Launching on Consoles and PC Globally Later This Year
London (6/22/2023) – Outright Games, the leading global publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, has announced TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK – Expedition, an all-new action packed, single player TRANSFORMERS video game that is being developed in partnership with Hasbro, a global leader in play. This is the first game inspired by the original animated series TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK that premiered globally November 2022. TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK – Expedition will introduce a new generation of video game fans to an all-new generation of Earthborn TRANSFORMERS bots when it launches later this year on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC.
TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK – Expedition puts fans behind the wheel of the iconic hero Bumblebee, as he drifts, drives, and fights his way across a new but familiar world. The game aims to faithfully recreate the environment and feel of the ground-breaking animated series, as Bumblebee sets off on his own adventure to face a mysterious threat from his past and stop the series villain Dr. Meridian, aka “Mandroid”, from recovering missing pieces of an ancient technology.
As part of this action-packed journey, players will be able to freely explore three massive biomes and complete quests from their Terran allies, the first TRANSFORMERS robots to be born on Earth, and new original characters from the TV series. To complete his mission Bumblebee will also fight against and alongside fan-favourite legacy TRANSFORMERS bots including Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Skullcruncher, Nova Storm, and Skywarp.
Deep levels of exploration and combat reward players for undertaking multiple playthroughs as they unlock a diverse range of upgrades and abilities that allow access to previous locations, and to discover secrets in previously inaccessible areas. Unlock the skills needed to take down Decepticons with spectacular ultimate attacks and customize Bumblebee by selecting a variety of engine energy trails when in vehicle mode.
The game has been designed to be accessible for fans of all ages, with detailed analysis given to different scenarios allowing freedom of exploration, text legibility, control setups and difficulty curves ensuring it is playable by younger gamers. Variable difficulty options are included that allow the game to be played according to individual ability, alongside mechanics that mitigate frustration in combat, such as directional warnings to help players identify incoming threats more easily. An assisted driving system has also been included which provides an easier control scheme when in vehicle mode, as well as the option to enable automatic camera so players can focus their full attention on exploring, driving, and battling enemies.
Stephanie Malham, COO of Outright Games said, “We’re very excited to be working with our long-term licensing partner Hasbro once again on a Transformers title that pushes the boundaries of what video games can bring to a long standing, hugely popular franchise. They have done an incredible job modernising and reinventing what Transformers means for a new generation through TV series, blockbuster movies, and working with the best partners on streaming platforms. We’re delighted to bring our expertise to the table and help compliment this strategy through the creation of video games for younger fans.”
TRANSFORMERS started life as a toy-line in 1984 and has gone on to depict the epic battle between the Autobots and Decepticons across movies, TV shows, comic books, innovative toys, and digital media. The TRANSFORMERS franchise is a global powerhouse spanning generations that has produced over 10 feature films and countless video games, making it a household name around the world.
TRANSFORMERS: EARTHSPARK – Expedition will launch in 2023 across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch and PC.

I haven't gotten the game yet, so I might have to wait until the patch comes in

Yup, can't wait !!
Wild Eevee
Good news!I just got an email from Outright games saying that they're working on a patch for the Switch and sent it to Nintendo for review.

I've been enjoying it for what it is. Interesting it takes place after season 1. Wish we could play as more characters but it's fine for what it is, decent game to play if you want something easy to sit back and play
Wild Eevee
Yeah,mine is now unplayable.
RATCHET 208
Playing on Switch to, I love the Idea but it crashs so much it gets annoying.
Wild Eevee
I'm playing it right now on Switch but it keeps crashing.Other than that it's pretty fun.
Novaburnhilde
Admittedly from what I'm seeing it really just seems like cheaply made shovelware, reminiscent of that Cyberverse game that was released awhile back.
Ratchet2007
So has anyone bought this? Not seen one person talk about it
RATCHET 208
I find it funny that some models have parts of other characters, swindle's torso and chest, insecticons chest and mandibles, and even soundwave's canon ! Hope this means they have some more models in stock, maybe in the files ? I don't know anything about this stuff so maybe it sounded stupid.

Game looks alright defiantly know it’s kid game how it looks and bumblebee crossing fisnsih line in gameplay
have you saw Fortnite game this looks same but game play is different
And if g1 was still was around which died out years ago which nothing capsule have saved g1 to be here today we never get beast wars series aramda energon animated series and toys if g1 was so good it still be be here today would not need movies make transformers popular all over again which it was in eighties
depends who ask most people like g1 hate everything else transformers related stuff
MagicalMensch
Nothing against Earth spark but I really would have preferred the Reactivate gameplay trailer.
guarayakha
You're asking for a low budget TF cash-in game to have a combat system on par with a P+ game. Just boot up Devastation already
KodyCrimson
Shovelware, shovelware, oh wonderful shovelware.
I wouldn't really mind these being what we get if these weren't the only games we get. Reactivate, you had better come out sooner or later and at a decent quality at least.
JJJ
Why would they do it any differently? This isn't being made for people familiar with Earthspark, this is a game with a known face and logo slapped on it to sell it, and nothing more. The purpose here is to extract money from wallets via marketing recognition, not to provide a fun game to fans.
Not in any way defending it, but that's what this is (and yes, it's shit, but this is how video games go).
mcart
I played it a little, it's ok, I've certainly played worse
ToaDraco
Couldn't agree more. At the very least ut would have been nice if Teitch and Thrash were playable, though I'd prefer if all the Maltobots were playable.
supernova222
id personally rather be twitch or hashtag
Dinobot Snarl
Can't wait to say that line myself after a change up
