Niantic宣布研发“变形金刚”AR手游
Niantic, the AR game studio behind Pokemon Go, has announced its next project, an AR experience based on Transformers called "Transformers: Heavy Metal." The studio expects the game to launch globally in the second half of this year and have a limited release in select countries soon. Niantic has collaborated with Seattle-based studio Very Very Spaceship for the project, although not much information or teaser videos have been released yet.
The basic description of "Transformers: Heavy Metal" states that players will join the Guardian Network, a group of human defenders, and fight against the Decepticons. Players can choose between single-player mode or team up with friends to explore hidden areas on Earth, collect resources, and engage in turn-based battles with the Decepticons.
Niantic is best known for its AR game, Pokemon Go. The company has also developed other AR projects such as Ingress, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, and Pikmin AR in collaboration with Nintendo.
