Transformers: War for Cybertron releases on Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS and PC on June 22 in America and on June 25 in Europe from publisher Activision and developer High Moon Studios.

Unlike the previous Transformers games that Activision has released, this new game is NOT based on a Michael Bay-directed film and is instead based on the Autobot-Decepticon civil war that ravaged the robots home planet of Cybertron and is often referenced in the series but has rarely been depicted.

In the game there will be two different story campaigns that the player can choose from, one for Autobots and one for Decepticons.

The Autobot campaign will follow Optimus Prime in his battle for good during the Civil War. The player will start off as a lower rank, but will increase in rank as you take on various missions and follow orders. Eventually Optimus will become the leader of the Autobots which will presumably be the conclusion of the campaign.

As you’ve probably guessed by now, the Decepticon campaign will see you playing as Megatron, as players trace his rise to power to become the evil leader of the Decepticons. Players will get to experience the “rebirth of Cybertron’s golden age” as Megatron attempts to take over the world.

An online cooperative mode will also be included in addition to head-to-head multiplayer modes. The Wii version meanwhile is being developed by Next Level Games and is entitled Transformers: Cybertron Adventures. It will contain an exclusive level not found in the other versions.

The DS version will feature 30 characters in total, with 11 exclusive characters. Don’t forget to check out our official Transformers: War for Cybertron characters list to see which bots will be included in the game.

Those who pre-order at GameStop will gain an exclusive download for Shockwave as a playable character for the multiplayer mode. While those who pre-order from Amazon will get an exclusive download for Demolisher from Transformers: Armada.
