ngmoco Reveals Transformers Card Battler

Mobile game studio ngmoco has lifted the lid on Transformers Mobile, a new card battler due out for iOS and Android later this fall. The new title follows the success of ngmoco parent company DeNA’s original smash-hit card battler Rage of Bahamut, which at one point occupied both the iOS and Android top game slots.

For now Transformers Mobile gameplay details are scarce, but it seems likely that the title will build on Rage of Bahamut’s core gameplay mechanics, including a strong quest system, card upgrading and frequent live events. The game will be powered by DeNA’s Mobage mobile social game platform.

Players will be able to play through unique Autobot and Decepticon campaigns to explore a new Transformers storyline. Like the studio’s other socially-infused games, Transformers Mobile will largely revolve around battling friends and checking in on a daily basis to take advantage of the steady stream of planned episodes and promotions.

IGN will have more on Transformers mobile as it nears release. Until then, gamers can ogle the game’s early artwork, inspired by the classic Transformers look from the 1980s.
