Have you been waiting for a video game that lets you speed down Tron-like futuristic streets in futuristic vehicles and destroy stuff and foes as a mecha? Well, if you do, the wait is over and you have Outright Games, Hasbro, and Transformers to thank. So folks, get ready to shift into gear and roll out with Transformers: Galactic Trials, a chaotic new racing adventure from Outright Games, where Autobots and Decepticons don’t just race—they brawl.
Set to release on consoles and PC this month, this game is the first of its kind to blend fast-paced racing with rogue-lite combat elements, and yes, that means Megatron can both outrun you and smash you into scrap metal. It is indeed the first of its kind—not just for Transformers video games, but in gaming as a whole—which is pretty exciting if you ask me.
The storyline kicks off with Nemesis Prime swiping the Prime Relics, sparking an epic battle race to recover them. Play as your favorite Transformers, including Bumblebee, Elita-1, or the big bot himself, Optimus Prime, as you race through galactic circuits, battling enemies while speeding toward the finish line. Think Mario Kart, but with transforming robots and a lot more explosions.
With Galactic Trials mode, you can power up and unlock new characters as you progress, or switch to Arcade mode for some good old-fashioned local multiplayer racing—because nothing says friendship like vaporizing your buddy’s bot with a well-timed missile.
Transformers: Galactic Trials video game will be out October 11th, and it’s available for pre-order now at US$39.99. Get ready to transform, race, and conquer on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
