ACTIVISION GEARS UP FOR
MONUMENTAL BATTLE WITH TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
The fate of the earth and the
survival of the human race hang in the balance in the Transformers™: Revenge of
the Fallen video game from Activision Publishing, Inc.. Based on
Hasbro’s legendary TRANSFORMERS property and the most anticipated blockbuster
film of 2009 from DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures in association with
Hasbro, the game propels players straight into an adrenaline-pumping battle for
supremacy across the globe where every second and every choice makes the
difference between mankind’s salvation and annihilation.
“The Transformers: Revenge of the
Fallen video game will give fans the chance to experience their favorite
AUTOBOTS and DECEPTICONS in an all-new, movie inspired adventure packed with the
thrilling and explosive action that only the TRANSFORMERS universe can deliver,”
said Rob Kostich, vice president of global brand management, Activision, Inc.
“We are thrilled to announce that after experiencing the rush of commanding
colossal robots on their own, players can challenge their friends for the first
time ever in full-featured, blistering multiplayer action as their favorite
characters.”
“Activision has developed a
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen video game that will give gamers and fans a
truly compelling way to experience TRANSFORMERS,” said Mark Blecher, Hasbro’s
General Manager of Digital Gaming and Media. “The Activision team’s passion for
the property clearly shows in the character development, intense action and rich
graphics that really deliver an immersive experience for the user.”
The Transformers: Revenge of the
Fallen video game lets gamers step into the shoes of the AUTOBOTS or
DECEPTICONS, select any available mission and pick from the largest, most
diverse range of playable Transformers – each with their own distinct abilities
and weaponry. Set in unique environments across the globe such as Cairo and
Shanghai, the game allows players to instantly switch between vehicle and robot
modes as they drive, fly, fight and blast their way through intense,
pressure-packed levels. After engaging in single player action, players for the
first time ever will be able to go online and battle friends in all-new
multiplayer modes.
The Transformers: Revenge of the
Fallen video game is currently in development by Luxoflux for the Xbox 360®
video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3
computer entertainment system, and for Windows PC by Beenox Studios.
Also, award-winning Krome Studios is
developing distinct Wii™ and PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system
versions, utilizing the individual platform features to deliver an intense 3rd
person action adventure game that combines dynamic robot combat with
arcade-style vehicle sequences and flight-based levels. In addition, two
completely different titles are being developed for Nintendo DS™ by Vicarious
Visions, allowing players to take on AUTOBOT or DECEPTICON-specific campaigns.
For the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system, a unique, fast-paced action arcade
title is being developed by Savage Entertainment.
