Fans of both Arcade gaming and Transformers: Human Alliance will be glad to know that a sequel is in the works. A site called Arcade heroes makes some interesting comparisons to the previous game. The new game will be a shooting game likely to be titled Transformers: Shadows Rising. Players will be able to use a turret-like controller to interact with the game as shown in the video. While Human Alliance focused on Bumblebee, Darkness Rising will feature Optimus Prime as it's cabinet design. (The human alliance arcade cabinet itself was molded to look like Bee.) We have posted an image below of what the current prototype looks like, though there may be changes before it will be available to the public.

Remember back in March when there was news about a new Arcade shooter game that was meant to be a sequel to the Bumblebee centered game, Human Alliance? Well, we have news for you that the game has a release month and it will be shown off that same month at Bowl Expo!

The new game, titled Transformers: Shadows Rising, will be launching in July, and to advertise the new game, it will be featured at Bowl Expo in Las Vegas, Nevada that same month. This information all comes to us from an article posted on Arcade Heroes, which also contained a new updated picture of the actual game cabinet itself, which has undergone some slight modifications since the March showcase.

The game itself will be another shooter styled game, and will feature 3 unique locations, and is rumored to have a level set on the moon too. You can read the article up above, and check out a video done by Arcade Heroes of the gameplay from March as well as a picture of the new box below.

Though I enjoyed playing Human Alliance, and I played it through twice at Dave and Busters, I don't see why we need a sequel to it. The Michael Bay movies are over, and aren't that appealing anymore to many fans. Besides, there are so many other on-rails shooters like this. I'd rather play the old Sega Jurassic Park arcade game that was also a "ride on" than this. This just seems like another way to shell out money rather than enjoy a new game...because it isn't a new game. It's a rehash.

SEGA has shared the trailer for the sequel to the game Transformers: Human Alliance on their YouTube Channel publicly at long last. Transformers: Shadows Rising is set in the live-action/Bayformers continuity of course and is the same type rail shooter like its predecessor. The game itself will be available at arcades in the later half of 2018. The game can be played by one or two players and the game itself will be available in a theater cabinet display for maximum play value and enjoyment. Be sure to check out the trailer below and tell us what you think about it on our Energon Pub forums.
