Activision Provides Details on Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Sequels to both the movie and game franchise incoming.

After last week's reveal of the new Transformers game Activision has provided the details.

The game is due out later this year on PS4, Xbox One, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U, 3DS and PC, with Rise of the Dark Spark serving as a sequel to both the upcoming Transformers movie, and previous titles War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron.

It is described as a "video game complement" to the upcoming Transformers: Age of Extinction movie by Michael Bay, the official blurb explains, "Rise of the Dark Spark jumps worlds and factions as it weaves the tale of the hunt for an ancient relic as powerful as the Matrix of Leadership - the Dark Spark. Players will be able to switch between the heroes of the noble Autobots and the nefarious Decepticons throughout the single-player campaign."

The gameplay is described to be similar to that of the previous Cybertron titles, with with promises about fast-paced running and gunning, along with vehicle action, large open battlefields and over 40 playable characters.

The multiplayer will also see the return of Escalation mode, in which waves of enemies attack up to four players and try to work together to survive.
