“Transformers: War for Cybertron is an origins story, taking players on a gripping, adrenaline-fueled journey that precedes the TRANSFORMERS characters’ arrival on Earth,” said Rob Kostich, head of marketing, licensed products, Activision Publishing, Inc.
“The game transports players to a living, metallic planet where they will battle as giant converting robots in single player, online co-op or head-to-head multiplayer matches that are fully immersive from start to finish.”
The game will feature two distinct storylines: the Autobot campaign tells a story of heroism to save their home planet against overwhelming odds, and the Deception campaign tells a story of a thirst for power to control the universe. For the first time in a Transformers title, fans will be able to play the game with their friends through team-based online co-op, or go head to head in a variety of intense, online multiplayer game modes. The game will feature a sci-fi art style that introduces fans to the entire living, metallic world of Cybertron, as well as all-new visualisations of the Transformers characters in their original Cybertronian forms.
