INTERACTIVE entertainment company Kabam, a world leader of multiplayer mobile games for a global audience, and Hasbro Inc. have teamed to produce a AAA massively multiplayer mobile game inspired by the iconic "Transformers" robot franchise.

The free-to-play app, which has been in development for just under a year at Kabam's Vancouver studio, is set to debut worldwide in the second quarter of 2017, and will allow "Transformers" fans the opportunity to engage with Optimus Prime, Megatron and other popular Autobots and Decepticons in a new, high-definition 3D environment.

The action mobile game will also incorporate RPG and strategy elements into a unique "Transformers" experience for fans and gamers alike.

Commenting on the game's imminent release, Tim Fields, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Kabam Vancouver said fans should expect the incredible.

"The Kabam Vancouver team is filled with Transformers fans and we are beyond stoked to help create a unique mobile game set in this awesome universe. Our fans can expect incredible visuals, action-packed gameplay, deep RPG elements, and an immersive world that is truly 'more than meets the eye.'"
