Based on the iconic Transformers brand, Transformers: Galactic Trials is a unique racing adventure game, with rogue-lite elements, will give fans an intense fusion of arcade racing and robot combat. 

After the evil NEMESIS PRIME steals the Prime Relics, the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS must set out on a rip-roaring adventure to recover these artefacts and control the incredible powers they bestow. Fans can play as iconic AUTOBOTS or DECEPTICONS, including Bumblebee, Megatron, Elita-1 and Optimus Prime and race across battle-race circuits to collect relics and beat opponents. The gameplay incorporates both traditional arcade racing in vehicle form and dynamic combat in bot-form, as players must defeat enemies and make it to the finish line.

As players progress and collect new relics, they will level up their skills and unlock new iconic playable characters and skins. Two game modes are available; play Galactic Trials to progress through levels and collect relics in single-player mode. In Arcade mode, grab a friend with 2-player, local multiplayer and enter a quick race, creating a custom racing experience with your track, character and weapons, or enter location-based specialised tournaments. 

Outright Games, in collaboration with Hasbro, is excited to reveal a brand-new character reveal trailer for Transformers: Galactic Trials. 

The new trailer showcases all 11 playable characters including Autobots Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Elita-1, Wheeljack, and Arcee, along with Decepticons Megatron, Shockwave, Flamewar, Soundwave, Nightbird, and Nemesis Prime. Fans will begin the game playing as iconic characters Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron, and will unlock additional characters as they progress. Each character comes equipped with two unique skills and a range of eight powerful weapons to customise each race.
