Transformers: Galactic Trials Heads to Consoles and PC This October
Get ready to shift into high gear and take on an intergalactic adventure with Outright Games and Hasbro’s latest collaboration – TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials! Developed by 3DClouds, this unique racing video game is set to release on October 11th, 2024, and will be available on PlayStation 4/5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
Based on the iconic TRANSFORMERS brand, Galactic Trials combines arcade racing and robot combat for an intense gaming experience. The story follows the AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS as they race across battle-race circuits to collect Prime Relics, stolen by the evil NEMESIS PRIME. These relics hold incredible powers and must be retrieved in order to save the universe.
Players can choose to play as their favorite iconic characters, including Bumblebee, Megatron, Elita-1, and Optimus Prime, as they progress through the game. The gameplay includes traditional arcade racing in vehicle form and dynamic combat in bot-form, where players must defeat enemies in order to reach the finish line.
But it’s not just about racing and battling – as players collect new relics, they can level up their skills and unlock new playable characters and skins. Two game modes are available – Galactic Trials, a single-player mode where players can progress through levels and collect relics, and Arcade mode, which offers 2-player local multiplayer for a customized racing experience.
Stephanie Malham, Managing Director of Outright Games, said, “It has been a pleasure to continue our collaboration with Hasbro and return to the world of TRANSFORMERS. With 2024 marking the 40th anniversary of this iconic IP, we are very excited to be releasing the first-ever console racing video game in the franchise’s history. With the inclusion of rogue-lite elements, TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials’s gameplay complements the dynamic Transformers robots.”

With immersive gameplay and a storyline that resonates with fans old and new, TRANSFORMERS: Galactic Trials is sure to ignite excitement. Through this all-new TRANSFORMERS racing experience, we continue to expand our digital offerings through strategic licensing and internal development, and we can’t wait for TRANSFORMERS fans to see what else we have in store.”
