Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark announced

Activision has today announced Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark, a video game complement to Paramount Pictures’ upcoming film, Transformers: Age of Extinction, set to release this June.

In the third-person action game, players will choose from over 40 playable characters from the two different universes as they battle to secure the Dark Spark.

The game will serve as a follow-up to both the upcoming Transformers live-action film and Activision’s Cybertron video games. Players will be able to switch between the Autobots and the Decepticons throughout the single-player campaign. Similar to High Moon Studios’ Cybertron titles, gameplay features fast-paced running-and-gunning combat paired with traversal and vehicle action across open battlefields.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark will be developed by Edge of Reality and release on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, and PC.
