![]() ![]() Unfortunately, High Moon Studios is not returning to develop Rise of the Dark Spark - which will, no doubt, cast a decent amount of skepticism on the quality of this upcoming tie-in game. For now, these storyline are little more than pure speculation but help to highlight how the game and film series might be merged.Ĭheck out new images from Rise of the Dark Spark below: A similar story would easily explain the Cybertron character designs and environments featured in the trailer - while setting the stage for a modern plot (and movie character designs) - as the Autobots attempt to recover the Dark Spark before Galvatron (now confirmed to be in the film) can use it for some galaxy-threatening purpose. It's easy to imagine Activision crafting a prequel plotline where Optimus and the Autobot warriors attempt to secure a dangerous ancient relic (the Dark Spark) before Cybertron is destroyed - only to be thwarted by Megatron and the Decepticons who hide the weapon somewhere off-planet. How exactly the series will tie-into the older Cybertron story is less clear - which, given that the universes are merging, definitely took place before the Autobots and Decepticons left their home planet and encountered Sam Witwicky on earth (at the beginning of Transformers).Īs a result, it's likely, though unconfirmed, that the Cybertron portion of the story could simply be flashbacks that setup the current (read: post- Age of Extinction) race to find the Dark Spark. 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.īased on the press release, it sounds as though Rise of the Dark Spark could take place after the events of Age of Extinction - possibly helping to pave the way for further entries in the film series (which are expected to significantly expand the movie franchise in both scale and long term story potential). Players will be able to switch between the heroes of the noble Autobots and the nefarious Decepticons throughout the single-player campaign. 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 choose from over 40 playable characters from the two different universes as they battle to secure the Dark Spark. This third-person action adventure video game goes beyond the movie by uniting the universe of director Michael Bay's Transformers movies with the ever-popular Cybertron universe. In an official press release, the publisher clarified where the game fits - while also outlining the main storyline: Now, Activision has released new details (and screenshots) for Rise of the Dark Spark - clarifying that the title takes place alongside Age of Extinction while also merging with the Cybertron game storyline. At first glance, the trailer for Rise of the Dark Spark resulted in more questions than answers - especially since the game features assets from both the Cybertron series and Bay's movie universe.
