Written by Brandon Hofer on June 16, 2014

News: Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is set to come out this summer but you can see a behind the scenes trailer right now with Peter Cullen.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is coming out a little later this year and Activision has recently released a behind-the-scenes trailer to show it off. What is the Dark Spark and what could it mean for the Transformers? Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, is here to tell us what’s in store for Cybertron...and for Earth.

Serving as a follow-up to both the upcoming Transformers live-action film and Activision’s Transformers: War for Cybertron and Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron titles, Transformers: 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. Similar to High Moon Studios’ Cybertron entries in the highly regarded series, gameplay features nimble, fast-paced running-and-gunning combat paired with traversal and vehicle action across open battlefields for large-scale, dynamic conflicts.

Players will also see the return of the fan-favourite multiplayer mode, Escalation, which delivers wave-based, survival-style gameplay for up to four players online cooperatively. It features new, upgradeable defense systems, recognizable adversaries from the lore, and an expanded roster of playable characters from past and present. Additionally, an exciting new levelling system transforms single-player and multiplayer into one unified, persistent character development path. Experience earned in any part of the game unlocks potent awards and tactical loadout choices – including new characters, stronger weapons, special abilities and consumable bonuses – for use throughout the entire game.

Check out the new trailer for yourself and tell us what you think. Are you excited for Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark?
