Transformers Online is an upcoming Chinese multiplayer first-person shooter currently in development by Tencent Games and published by Hasbro. Tencent Games revealed the Unreal 4 Engine project during ChinaJoy 2016, which left most players surprised. According to MMOCulture, the game will be a "role-based team shooter" similar to Overwatch. The first Closed Beta test began on August 5th, 2016 and ended on August 26, 2016 in China. The third beta test began on May 18, 2017. The most recent update slightly updated the graphics, added a mandatory tutorial to newcomers, and gave all playable characters more skills & abilities to be up to equal caliber as Overwatch fighters. To date, no further details confirm of a Western release.
Gameplay
Similarly to Transformers Universe, every character has both a shield and spark bar. However, players on both teams are able to choose their fighter regardless of faction. (Furthermore, not all characters have an ability/weapon in vehicle mode.) Each playable character also has both a melee weapon and a ranged weapon that can be interchanged in combat.
Game modes
After the player completes a story mode tutorial as Optimus Prime, they are able to access four playable game modes:
- Point Capture pits one team against another (regardless of faction). The team that captures the most/all points on the map wins the match.
- Death Match is a free-for-all mode, in which the winning player is declared by having the most kills after the time limit expires
- Blade Wars is a mode in which characters are limited to using their melee weapons
- AI Bots is a virtual simulation mode that allows the players to practice any character's' combat skills on practice targets
