Inspired by the original animated series, Transformers: Earthspark - Expedition is an all-new action packed, single player Transformers video game.

Transformers: Earthspark - Expedition puts fans behind the wheel of the iconic hero Bumblebee, as he drifts, drives, and fights his way across a new but familiar world. The game aims to faithfully recreate the environment and feel of the ground-breaking animated series, as Bumblebee sets off on his own adventure to face a mysterious threat from his past and stop the series villain Dr. Meridian, aka "Mandroid", from recovering missing pieces of an ancient technology.

As part of this action-packed journey, players will be able to freely explore three massive biomes and complete quests from their Terran allies, the first Transformers robots to be born on Earth, and new original characters from the TV series. To complete his mission Bumblebee will also fight against and alongside fan-favorite legacy Transformers bots including Optimus Prime, Grimlock, Skullcruncher, Nova Storm, and Skywarp.

Deep levels of exploration and combat reward players for undertaking multiple playthroughs as they unlock a diverse range of upgrades and abilities that allow access to previous locations, and to discover secrets in previously inaccessible areas. Unlock the skills needed to take down Decepticons with spectacular ultimate attacks and customize Bumblebee by selecting a variety of engine energy trails when in vehicle mode.

 


The game has been designed to be accessible for fans of all ages, with detailed analysis given to different scenarios allowing freedom of exploration, text legibility, control setups and difficulty curves ensuring it is playable by younger gamers. Variable difficulty options are included that allow the game to be played according to individual ability, alongside mechanics that mitigate frustration in combat, such as directional warnings to help players identify incoming threats more easily. An assisted driving system has also been included which provides an easier control scheme when in vehicle mode, as well as the option to enable automatic camera so players can focus their full attention on exploring, driving, and battling enemies.

Stephanie Malham, COO of Outright Games said, "We're very excited to be working with our long-term licensing partner Hasbro once again on a Transformers title that pushes the boundaries of what video games can bring to a long standing, hugely popular franchise. They have done an incredible job modernizing and reinventing what Transformers means for a new generation through TV series, blockbuster movies, and working with the best partners on streaming platforms. We're delighted to bring our expertise to the table and help compliment this strategy through the creation of video games for younger fans."

Transformers: Earthspark - Expedition will be at San Diego Comic Con showing a first look demo of the game in July. 

Transformers: Earthspark is an original action-comedy series co-produced by Hasbro's Entertainment One (eOne) and Nickelodeon and introduces a new generation of Transformers robots – the first to be born on Earth – and together with the humans who welcome them and care for them, they'll redefine what it means to be a family.  

Transformers: Earthspark - Expedition is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2023.
