Transformers Heavy Metal AR mobile game was planned to be an AR mobile game developed by Niantic, but unfortunately it was cancelled in June this year after being available only as a beta test in a few countries. Now we have a look at the design of several characters planned for the game like Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream, the Constructicons, Devastator and more. All characters show a blocky and original design.

For a while now, we’ve been hearing bits of info here and there about Transformers Rise, a video game that was being developed by Certain Affinity. Unfortunately though, over time it had become clear that there was turmoil behind the scenes, with some rumors even suggesting it had been outright cancelled.

However, we now have a new report which may provide some renewed hope. Insider Gaming’s Tom Henderson, who is regarded as one of the top gaming insiders, has posted an article suggesting the game may in fact still be in development, but was handed off to developer Splash Damage instead. The article also provides some other details about the game:

“The supposed free-to-play third-person MMO is expected to release in 2023 and has taken inspiration from games like Destiny, it was said.

In this team-based experience, fan-favorite characters like Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, and Megatron will be making their way to the game, with transformers being placed under different category types.

Somewhat similar to Destiny’s Hunters, Warlocks, and Titans, the Transformers title will have similar roles currently under the named Tank, Damage, and Support.

It’s believed the game has seen a few changes since it was under Certain Affinity under the name “Transformers Rise”, with the codename for the project apparently now being “Fortress”, one source said.

As for the game’s plot, it’s understood that the Transformers will be fighting a new enemy (on Earth) under the name of “The Legion”. The Legion are new enemies in the Transformers universe that consist of organic and non-organic matter that can corrupt transformers that turn them into bigger and badder versions of themselves.

Developed on Unreal Engine 4, it was said that the game felt “very outdated but has potential”.

With an apparent 2023 release, we should be hearing more about the game in the near future. No details were shared on which platforms the game will release.”

With The Game Awards coming up next week on December 8th, it may be a good event to keep an eye on due to it being a primary place for yearly video game reveals.

Hasbro sent through word that the Transformers Beyond Reality VR Game for Playstation VR is now launching in the European and Australian markets.  The arcade style first person shooter is also available in the US an Asia, but now is available to more of our global friends.  Read on for an official press release, check the trailer below!
