Fanwank: The Game

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a video game jointly-created by both Hasbro and Activision, released on June 24, 2014 in Europe and North America, and June 25 in Australia[1]. Developed by Edge of Reality for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U and PC and by WayForward Technologies for the Nintendo 3DS[2], it appears to incorporate elements of both the Transformers film franchise and the War for Cybertron / Fall of Cybertron games. The story will take place before the Ark is launched in the Aligned continuity, while it also occurs simultaneously with the events of Age of Extinction and its aftermath. The 3DS version has over 50 Transformers characters and epic 3D battle sequences, while the console version has over 40 playable characters. [3]

Notes

Continuity notes

  • The Cybertron portion of the game occurs between War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron – the Ark is under construction, Trypticon still lies where he crashed, and we see Shockwave discover the Insecticons for the first time. However, there is one notable inconsistency – see 'Errors' below.
  • Audio logs speak of the Patterners and Galvatron indicating that studies of the Dark Spark took place during The Age of Origins in The Covenant of Primus

Errors

  • Despite the game's script clearly positioning it before the events of Fall of Cybertron, Megatron is depicted in the new body he acquired only part-way through that game.

Trivia

  • Rise of the Dark Spark marks a PlayStation 4 milestone by being the very first game to support the PlayStation Store pre-loading feature introduced in the console's 1.70 update.[4]
