beta testing in select territories soon and will be available

TRANSFORMERS: Forged to Fight will give players
access to nearly every era of the franchise's history, challenging
gamers to assemble the ultimate team of Transformers characters,
including Autobots and Decepticons from the animated TV series,
blockbuster films, as well as fan-favorites from the Transformers
comic book series and Hasbro's line of iconic figures. As fans

In TRANSFORMERS: Forged to Fight, explore an epic
new universe where multiple realities collide to form a massive
planetary battlefield. Players will assemble a team of Autobots and

corrupted Transformers and their villainous overlords. The game
features amazing visuals, intense one-on-one battles, meaningful
robot to vehicle converting action and deep RPG elements.
Transformers such as Optimus Prime,
