Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron Out Tomorrow On PS4, Xbox One
With absolutely no fanfare, Activision is releasing another current-generation port. This time, it’s the second Cybertron game from High Moon Studios.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is the second of two titles that take place before the original 1980s cartoon series. You’ll be able to progress through two different storylines, each featuring one side of the Autobot-Decepticon war.
This entry introduces the Dinobots and combiners, as well as some of the biggest Transformers ever to walk the face of Cybertron. No word yet on when we can expect it to arrive in North America, but we’ve inquired.
The port was handled by FunLabs, which handled the last-gen versions of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, the current-gen Prototype ports, and a number of Cabela games. You can check out our review of Fall of Cybertron for more.
Update: Activision has confirmed a North American release for tomorrow. More information is on the way.

Our Take
Given Activision’s track record with ports, I’m not getting my hopes up. I loved this game, but I have a feeling I’m in for disappointment with the Xbox One and PS4 editions.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
