We’d never pass up an opportunity to fight giant battling robots for the sake of civil war.

A trailer has arrived for Transformers: Battlegrounds, a new game focusing on the war between good and evil as the Heroic Autobots take on the Evil Decepticons in a battle to save Cybertron and earth.

Hasbro Inc. a global play and entertainment company, and Outright Games, the leading worldwide publisher of family-friendly interactive entertainment, today have assembled to announce that TRANSFORMERS: BATTLEGROUNDS, an all new Transformers video game for kids and fans of all ages, will launch October 23 on PlayStation® 4, Nintendo Switch™, Xbox One and PC digital.

UK developer Coatsink brings the timeless, legendary war between Autobots and Decepticons to life in a never before seen way. As the evil MEGATRON closes in on the Allspark, BUMBLEBEE and the Autobots need a new commander to help save Earth, as they team up and roll out into battles that will rage from Central City to Cybertron in both single player and multiplayer action.

“The TRANSFORMERS franchise is one of the most enduring and recognizable in the world of entertainment,” said Terry Malham, CEO of Outright Games. “It’s an honour to work with this beloved universe and these iconic characters to create a new and exciting TRANSFORMERS console game that families can enjoy together.”

“TRANSFORMERS: BATTLEGROUNDS is a new and authentic take on what a TRANSFORMERS video game can be,” says Mark Blecher, Hasbro SVP Corporate Strategy and Business Affairs. “It’s exciting for us to bring the epic story of the battle between the Autobots and Decepticons to life for a new generation of fans on console.”

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
