DeNA and Hasbro Reveal ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ for iOS

DeNA and Hasbro have recently announced that Transformers: Age of Extinction, the official mobile game to accompany the movie coming late next month, is currently in development for iOS devices. Transformers: Age of Extinction the mobile game is the second installment in a three-year agreement between the two companies to develop and publish games based on the Transformers franchise. This new free-to-play game marks the first time that DeNA has developed a movie licensed game for iOS or any other mobile platform. We are told that the game is a 3D combat runner (think of Temple Run) where the mission is to take down enemies featured in the movie as players run and change forms through fast-paced levels. Probably the best way to describe the game is think of an on-rails shooter crossed with Temple Run, then re-skinned as Transformers and add in elements from the franchise to the game. Granted we could be completely wrong or kind of right, but going off the information and screenshots that were provided, that\'s our most educated guess. Because runner games like Temple Run are a dime a dozen, we can only hope that Transformers: Age of Extinction offers something new to the genre.

"The Transformers: Age of Extinction mobile game will deliver an explosive interactive entertainment experience on mobile devices for Transformers fans and consumers looking to extend their movie experience after the credits roll,” said Barry Dorf, vice president of partnerships and alliances at DeNA. “This isn’t your typical runner game; this game puts the player in the middle of an action-packed Hollywood blockbuster where it’s destroy or be destroyed!”

"DeNA is creating a fresh and innovative gameplay experience with Transformers: Age of Extinction that translates big screen action moments onto mobile devices,” said Mark Blecher, SVP Digital Gaming & Corporate Development at Hasbro, Inc.

As of now there\'s no official release date for Transformers: Age of Extinction, however, we were told that the game should land sometime later this year. If anything, it\'s safe to say DeNDA and Hasbro will launch their latest Transformer for iOS title sometime next month to accompany the movie\'s release.
